La Lama Refuge

Place easily reachable from Badia Prataglia and from Romagna. For enduro lovers, the Crocina-Bertesca route and then Bertesca-Forconali are recommended. This last stretch, about 4 km long, has a difference …

November 6, 2022,Giro ad anello Passo Fangacci-Foresta delle Lame-Cascata degli Scalandrini

Beautiful loop tour in the beautiful forest of blades, suitable for everyone if you are used to hiking 😉 it is not difficult but long enough ... It can also be done in summer because it is immersed in the forest with waterways ... Too bad that the drought of this long period means that the waterfall of the stair …

July 28, 2024,Giro attorno al Monte Penna da Camaldoli Eremo

Restart after a year and a half of stop. I am very satisfied. The times and speeds are off in that area, the GPS goes wrong.
The excursion lasted about 6 hours with an hour's stop at Lama to eat.
A nice route, not difficult but rather tiring.

June 5, 2025,Foresta della Lama und Monte Penna

A beautiful hike through the secluded, wild Lama Forest and up Monte Penna.
The descent through the pristine beech forest at Fosso dei Fangacci is a highlight of the tour – thanks to the idyllic forest and the waterfalls along the trail.
After a 500-meter descent, you reach the much-praised Lama Meadow with its church, mountain hut, benches, and camping …

August 3, 2021,Foresta della Lama e casentino

Magnificent plateau, partly marshy (hence the origin of the name: lama = swampy and / or unsafe ground), nestled between woods and rocky crags, the Lama embodies all the beauty of contrasts. For about fifteen years it has no longer been reachable by car with the road coming from Cancellino, at the Passo dei Mandrioli, a road that still exists …

October 24, 2021,Rifugio Fangacci-La Lama-Cascata Scalandrini

Classic tour to enjoy the beautiful forest in the Fangacci-Lama area which is colored in this autumn period.
The ascent from the path that passes from the Scalandrini Waterfall is rather steep and in rainy periods even slippery, apart from this wonderful!
