Casale/cascina in Via Fossetta s.n.c, Careggine,

The cluster is in the Apuan Alps, with steep forested slopes and limestone peaks around the upper Garfagnana. The artificial Lake Vagli lies nearby, and the Serchio valley is the main river landscape of the area. Much of the surrounding mountain area falls within the Parco regionale delle Alpi Apuane. The nearest ski area is Careggine, with local lifts in the area when operating; the larger Abetone ski lifts are much farther away and do not shape the immediate setting. The nearest town of some size is Castelnuovo di Garfagnana, which has the main services and rail connection for the valley. The area is known for mountain villages, chestnut woodland, marble landscapes on the Apuan side, and the drowned village of Fabbriche di Careggine when the reservoir is emptied.
