From Lamole to the headwaters of the Greve

Excursion of great historical and naturalistic charm that will allow us to reach the shady woods of Monte San Michele, the highest peak of the Chianti Mountains. We will start from Lamole, an important territorial garrison of the Val di Greve from which we will admire suggestive hilly views. We will travel along small farm roads admiring the typical terraced vineyards and penetrate up the slopes of San Michele following forest tracks near the sources of the Greve. 

We will stop in the shade of the great trees to discover the ecosystem of the area and the nearby Villa, originally a small Camaldolese monastery. Wide views of the Valdarnese side will accompany us on the ridge, we will then continue through pastures and cultivated fields to the village of Casole, Oriana Fallaci's homeland, and finally to the Castle of Lamole where we will conclude this evocative experience.
