Spend a day immersed in the nature and spirituality of Monte della Verna, a place dear to St. Francis. The circular hike around Monte Penna will take you to the Bosco delle Fate, one of the most colorful, life-filled, and legendary areas of the Casentino Forest National Park. It'll be like stepping into a fantastic tale among cliffs, centuries-old beech forests, evocative caves, and landscapes that look like natural cathedrals. Starting from Chiusi della Verna, you'll cross La Beccia, an ancient medieval pilgrim route, until you reach the Franciscan Sanctuary. Along the way, you'll admire the Sasso Spicco, the cliff that supports the Sanctuary, the Ghiacciaia, and a forest that changes its face with every step. The experience is enriched by tales of local legends, unique views, and the chance to see the tallest tree in Italy. The excursion, suitable for everyone, is designed for small groups (max. 12 people) to ensure an authentic and engaging experience. A slow journey through history, nature, and spirituality, perfect for those who love to walk and discover magical places.
