We will end our trip below the summit of Pratomagno mountain around 4:00pm.

For those who do not wish to partake in this part of the trip, you can enjoy and relax yourself in the peaceful picnic area while you await our return). At the top of the mountain you will see the famous giant christian cross, symbol of the mountain and a tribute to Saint Francisco, as well as an amazing view right out over Tuscany. It was here that the Australian explorer and WWI hero Herbert John Louis Hinkler crashed in his attempt to fly from England to Australia. The Pratomagno mountain range is believed to have been under the sea approximately 5 million years ago.

The lawns, or the ridge of the Pratomagno, appear with different scenographies according to the light and season change: the soft green scattered with so many kinds of flowers in spring, rich yellow in summer, the warm colours in autumn, the snow and the transparency of the air in winter. The Pratomagno is also a very good place for mushrooms and other natural fruits, as well as the cinghiale (wild boar) running free.
