The area around Pelago is a paradise for outdoor lovers, with numerous routes for hiking, mountain biking and gravel riding. From the guesthouse you set off on foot towards woods, ridges and ancient places of human labour.
The valleys of the mills
One of the most distinctive itineraries descends to the ancient water mills built at the wish of the Vallombrosan monks, among stone bridges and woods of Turkey oaks. It is a route that tells the story of the labour and ingenuity of these mountains.
Ridges, monumental trees and Monte Giovi
The ridge between Monte Falterona and Monte Giovi offers panoramic routes and places of great charm, such as the panoramic Secchieta summit, the ice-houses of Monte Giovi and the monumental trees of the Vallombrosa forest. The ancient cobbled ways, once trodden by Etruscans, warlords and pilgrims, intertwine with modern routes designed to experience the land.
From the guesthouse: Many trails start a few steps from the guesthouse; other routes are a short reach away.
