Prato alla Penna is located on the top of the pass that connects the hermitage of Camaldoli to Badia Prataglia. Being on the ridge it is crossed by the CAI 00 path which in this stretch also takes the name of "Giogana". It is a very important crossroads since from here you continue towards the Calla pass or go up to Poggio Tre Confini. In winter the landscape and the climb on foot in the snow (the pass closes transit in winter) are worth the effort!

Along the provincial road that leads from the Sacred Hermitage of Camaldoli to Badia a Prataglia, at the end of the climb, there is this beautiful meadow area immersed in the beautiful Casentino forest.

Because some of the most beautiful trails of the Casentinesi Forest National Park start from here.
