Stroll through the beech and chestnut woods following in the wake of the old charcoal burners hoping to see roe deer, fallow deer and many other wild animals. Observe the peaks of Corsica and Maiella at a glance, a unique mystical experience from the top of Mount Labbro, breathing in legends of dragons and bearded wizards, following the paths of miners towards the abandoned mercury mines. Admire the masterpieces of the famous artist Andrea della Robbia a stone’s throw from the source of the Fiora river, in one of the most beautiful medieval villages in Italy and discover its eno-gastronomic heritage.
This is the Monte Amiata area, with in the centre a mountain of volcanic, magical and mysterious origin that rises majestically between the Grosseto Maremma, the Val d’Orcia and the Paglia river in the Sienese area. A land which rests on ancient limestone rocks, clayey soils that draw the classic Tuscan hills, where not perforated by the volcano, its igneous rocks with the residual heat that feeds the clean energy of geothermal power plants with endogenous steam.
Our tour will show you this and much more, in order to discover hidden and mysterious corners known to very few people.
