The porcino mushroom of Borgotaro is the famous guest on a trail that unwinds principally in Valtaro and joins North East with Val Baganza (the trail of ham and hill wines) and West with Val Ceno and the ridge that divides the Parma Apennine hills from those of Piacenza. Heading South the trail to the sea opens up....this territory naturally contributes to some of the most charming scenery of the entire Apennine ridge, it is harmoniously composed of hills which reach up from the numerous rivers as far as the top of the Ligurian and Tuscan borders. It is a land rich in history, marked by castles, medieval villages and ancient cult spots.

For centuries the trails of pilgrimages overlapped with those of commercial trade from France and the plain of the Po towards the sea.
Naturalistic excursions find here their happiest destinations. It is also a well-known holiday location:in the summer it livens up with festivities and it renews the appointment with its tourists in autumn for a more appetizing menù..... the porcino mushroom of Borgotaro enters the scene, accompanied by the tasty gastronomic tradition of the Parma mountains.
