Grotta del Vento

Northwestern Tuscany


This cave, 9km west of the SS445 along a very narrow road, showcases a world of underground abysses, lakes and caverns. April to October, choose between guided tours of one, two or three hours. If you're up to the 800/1200 steps involved in the two-/three-hour tour, it's worth it. November to March, the one-hour tour (300 steps) is the only choice.
