Geodiversity Sites in the Apuan Alps Geopark

The Apuan Alps (Tuscany, Italy) preserve exceptional examples of geodiversity based on its world-famous marbles and minerals, as well as on karst systems, traces of glaciations and tectonic structures. As UNESCO Global Geopark, the Apuan Alps UGGp works for disclosing and spreading the value of its geoheritage. Therefore, alongside the geosites, several geodiversity sites with educational, touristic and cultural values have been identified. Here we present three geodiversity sites among the most beloved by tourists, as example of the Geopark's holistic approach celebrating geoheritage together with cultural and natural heritage to provide a narrative of its territory.
