Monte Prado (2054 m s.l.m.)
Mount Prado is the highest mountain of Tuscany, place on the Tuscan-Emilian Apennines watershed ridge which forms the border between the province of Reggio Emilia and the province of Lucca.
On Emilia side the summit marks the border between the towns of Ventasso and Villa Minozzo, while the Tuscan side belongs to the municipality of Sillano Giuncugnano, in Garfagnana.
Practically a mountain bike locally…On hot summer days we can go up to Casone of Profecchia the Shuttle, where we will climb into the saddle and quickly valicheremo direction of the Step Scissors Refuge Abetina Royal, a pristine place run to perfection by Masha, that tempt you with some good dish make pleasant the climb to Lama Lite (1761 m s.l.m) Visit the beautiful lake and then off for about Bargetana 40 minute portage, the real one…. but in a fabulous environment!
After reaching the summit of Mount Prado must bring out the downhillers that is in us! With a number of single tracks which alternate technical traits sometimes flow through open spaces, beeches, castagni, countries, mule tracks and streams all in one breath we get to Pieve Fosciana (-1700 mt.) with a single thought….when we can get back on top?!
