The park stretches across 368 square kilometers of mountainous terrain, featuring ancient beech forests, sandstone formations, and diverse ecosystems between Florence and Arezzo.

Established in 1993, the park includes the Sasso Fratino Reserve, which became Italy's first protected natural area in 1959 and received UNESCO recognition in 2017.

The territory contains the Camaldoli monastery and La Verna sanctuary, representing centuries of religious influence and traditional forest management practices in central Italy.

Visitors can explore 650 kilometers of marked trails throughout the park, with access points from multiple towns and guided tours available from March through November.

The springs of both the Arno and Tiber rivers originate within the park boundaries, making it a crucial water source for central Italy.
