ローロ・チュッフェンナの山小屋＆キャビン・トップ10

Mount Secchieta lies between the municipalities of Reggello and Montemignaio. The peak, approximately 1,500 meters above sea level, is part of the Pratomagno ridge and separates the Casentino valley from the Upper Valdarno valley. There is a refuge there, which can also be reached by a paved road.

Rifugio Secchieta, with its cyclist museum featuring many interesting jerseys. The sandwiches are excellent, and the view is beautiful.

Great location with good infrastructure

Beginning of May 2025, it was closed.

A beautiful panoramic point nearby

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.

I would say that passing by there and not stopping is almost sacrilege :-)
