The summit of Monte Tambura with its 1895m is the second in the chain of the Apuan Alps. From here you can admire a splendid view of the Tyrrhenian Sea and Versilia to the West. Or looking east, towards Vagli, the valleys of the Garfagnana stretch out at our feet, surrounded by some of the most beautiful peaks of the Apennines.

Tambura Pass

Highlight • Mountain Pass

In addition to the breathtaking views and interesting paths to follow, the Tambura pass also has a particular history. Between 1738 and 1751, the Duke of Modena requested the construction of a road from his residence to his property near the Tyrrhenian Sea. Due to political complications, the road had to be built on the nobleman's property, which forced his engineer, Domenico Vandelli, to build it across the saddle of the Tambura pass. Unfortunately, the slopes on both sides are very steep, which made it necessary to use all his engineering knowledge to construct the endless hairpin bends that cross the pass. Today the route is only suitable for those walking or cycling.

Nearby Mount Tambura is one of the largest mountains in the Apuan Alps, easily visible from afar.

Vandelli Route on Mount Tambura

Highlight • Trail

Perhaps not everyone knows that the contour lines (isohypses) present on any map, and universally used even today, are an invention of the first half of the 1700s by the good Vandelli, illustrious mathematician and architect, professor at the University of Modena.

June 8, 2024,Tambura Loop RT from Campocatino

A nice ride! Especially challenging on the way back, precisely because after the ridge route following the summit, an interminable descent begins without any real panoramic points or points of interest on mixed terrain but which must be tackled with care! The initial part from Campocatino to the summit of Tambura with the subsequent ridges is fantastic, but be careful …
