Casina dell'Oia
The place
Refuge at ~973-999 m in the solitary Valle dell'Oia, within the Casentinesi Forests National Park, municipality of Stia (province of Arezzo, Tuscany). The cabin is reached via a narrow, fascinating trail that crosses the forest with a moderate elevation gain. A stop on the 'Sentiero della Libertà' from the centuries-old Montalto chestnut grove, and part of the classic Passo della Calla → Casina dell'Oia → return loop. A furnished picnic area lies nearby. A characteristic stop in the deep forests of Casentino, guaranteeing biodiversity and quiet within the RifuginCasentino network.
Getting there
From Passo della Calla as a loop, or via the Sentiero della Libertà from Montalto.
The setting
Valle dell'Oia, Casentinesi Forests National Park, Tuscany.
