Full description

Visiting the highest volcano in Tuscany in the middle of winter?

Well yes, with a fantastic snowshoe hike on Monte Amiata, up to 1738 m! An incredible destination, dotted with frozen lakes, snow-covered slopes and white beech forests.

Admire the small mountain chalets and the tracks of forest animals, letting yourself be guided on a 6-hour snowshoe hike full of views and emotions. And from the top of the mountain, enjoy the sunset before heading back down to the valley after a hot chocolate or a bombardino.

What we will do

We will meet up near Monte Amiata (AR) at 10:00 a.m., ready to meet the guide and get fully equipped for our daily snowshoe hike.

After introductions and a briefing on the route (9 km, with a maximum altitude difference of 500 m), it will be time to set off towards the summit of Monte Amiata.

We will immediately enter one of the snowy beech forests we encounter along the way, where we can admire the unspoilt nature and listen to the sounds of the forest in winter.

Halfway along, we will have a packed lunch surrounded by snow (lunch not included and to be brought from home). After passing through the beech forests, we will be able to see the many frozen lakes and snow-covered slopes that make the mountain particularly impressive.

Last uphill stretch to an altitude of 1738 m, the summit of Monte Amiata! Here we can enjoy a hot chocolate or a bombardino offered by the guide.

The sun will begin to set over the Tyrrhenian Sea, one of the most exciting moments of our day. And to descend, we will set off on an alternative route in the footsteps of the wolf, taking care not to disturb these wonderful animals.

We will arrive at the starting point in the late afternoon after six hours of snowshoeing.
