About Carrara
Carrara is not just a marble town: the Apuan Alps rise straight out of the city, and the quarries carved into them are a landscape you can only really understand from the inside. The most rewarding way in is by 4x4, as on the Carrara Marble Quarries 4x4 Tour with Lardo di Colonnata Tasting, which climbs the hairpins to the working basins and finishes with a tasting of the local lard. If you want more time above the treeline, the Carrara Marble Quarries Jeep Tour with Lardo Tasting stretches the route to three hours among the white terraces and alpine views.

Frequently asked questions
Carrara sits directly beneath the Apuan Alps, so nature here is inseparable from the marble industry. A 4x4 or jeep route climbs into active quarry basins above the treeline, where you get white terraces, alpine views and working machinery in one landscape.
