Tra monte amiata lago bolsena terme saturnia panoramicissimo

Monte Amiata is within the local landscape, with wooded slopes and volcanic terrain around the upper Albegna valley. The Albegna river rises in this area. Part of the area falls in the Monte Amiata wildlife and nature reserve system. The nearest ski lifts are on Monte Amiata around Prato delle Macinaie and Cantore, roughly 25–35 minutes by road. The nearest town of some size is Piancastagnaio on the Siena side, with everyday services, while the wider Amiata belt is known for chestnut woods, former mercury mining and hill villages.
