Croce del Pratomagno, Loro Ciuffenna

Superb views on Valdarno and Casentino valleys. Easily accessible, also with small children and buggy.

Nice trek close to Poppi. You can reach Pratomagno by a good condition road and park directly there. About 20 minutes to reach the peak. From there there are seval path, as you can see in the photos. Easy and recommended also for families. You can have a very nice view of the area (possible to see Transimeno lake or Florence). At the parking sport there is also a place where you can make your own barbecue. Recommended to stop for lunch at Paneolio in Quota, really typical and cheap place.

Nice walk up to the Cross, following the walking trail. Great view on top, on a good day you can see really far into the countryside. But when it is humid, the view is more limited. Be aware that it's much cooler on top than in the valley! We had about 18°C on top, while it was about 33°C in the valley.

If you come to Casentino Valley, take a few hours out of your schedule and go hike up to this place. It's best enjoyed at sunset. Breathtaking!

there are hundreds of photos of the cross, but few of the way to get there. we are at an altitude of 1500 meters, the climb is nothing impossible and the arrival is worth the effort
