If the pavement feels like it’s melting beneath your feet, the city is sweltering, the beach sand is too hot to walk on, and even the mountains offer little relief—with the freezing level soaring above 5,000 metres—it’s time to treat yourself to a refreshing break.
In the heart of Garfagnana, the Grotta del Vento is waiting for you. Discover a magical underground world of spectacular rock formations and breathtaking scenery, all at a constant temperature of just +10.7°C all year round.
Choose from 1, 2 or 3-hour guided tours.
Outside you’ll find a picnic area, while inside our air-conditioned visitor centre you can relax with a snack bar, browse our collection of minerals and fossils, and enjoy a fascinating photographic exhibition.
