Prato alla Penna

Highlight • Mountain Pass

Prato alla Penna is located on the top of the pass that connects the hermitage of Camaldoli to Badia Prataglia. Being on the ridge it is crossed by the CAI 00 path which in this stretch also takes the name of "Giogana". It is a very important crossroads since from here you continue towards the Calla pass or go up to Poggio Tre Confini. In winter the landscape and the climb on foot in the snow (the pass closes transit in winter) are worth the effort!

Camaldoli Hermitage

Highlight • Religious Site

The hermitage of Camaldoli was founded around 1025 AD by the hermit friar Romualdo, today San Romualdo. At the beginning the structure had five cells for hermits and a church for common prayer. Today there are twenty cells and the most "recent" dates back to 1743. Over the centuries, other common structures have been built: the refectory, the library and the guesthouse. All the cells are built following the model of the first cell of San Romualdo, still visible although incorporated by the library: it is a small house with a garden surrounded by walls. The internal spaces of the hermitage can only be visited during guided tours; the timetables can be found on the Camaldoli community website.
