    Capanna delle Guardie is a bivouac located at 1340 meters on Pratomagno, between the Vallombrosa Biogenetic State Reserve and the protected area of the Bosco di Sant’Antonio.

    The Bivouac, easily reachable from various paths, has 9 beds: there are in fact 3 bunk beds for three people.

    The bivouac is equipped with an internal fireplace, internal sink, large table with 2 benches and a water source outside (in recent years water has not always been present, so it is recommended to bring water with you).

    Outside there are several tables and two braziers; there is also a bathroom that can be accessed with the key provided on request by the Union of Municipalities of Valdarno and Valdisieve.

      Always open, the bivouac only has a fireplace and a few battered pots (better to bring something). There are many grills. There is running water recently restored (2024). I found a couple of volunteers who take care of the House. It is also an educational center for the park. The place is wonderful.
