Embark on the Monte Falco Ridge Walk (Sentiero 00), a moderate hike that takes you along the main Apennine watershed. This route covers 4.4 miles (7.1 km) with an elevation gain of 1155 feet (352 metres), typically taking around 2 hours and 58 minutes to complete. You will experience ancient beech forests where the canopy forms a thick, tunnel-like passage, offering a unique atmosphere as you traverse the ridge.
To begin your adventure, head to the large parking area at Passo della Calla. The trail follows the GEA 00 ridge path, which also marks the boundary between Tuscany and Emilia-Romagna. You can access the trailhead from the Tuscan side via Stia or from the Romagna side through Santa Sofia and Campigna. Plan your visit to allow ample time to enjoy the varied scenery and panoramic viewpoints along the way.
This trail leads you to Monte Falco's summit, the highest point in the Casentine Forests National Park. Along the way, you will pass a distinctive religious shrine carved into a tree trunk, dedicated to the Madonna della Foresta. The route also features the Prati della Burraia, large meadows with expansive views, and the historic Rifugio La Burraia, originally a grand ducal stable.
