Monte Retaia

Monte Retaia rises to an elevation of 771.9 meters within the Calvana mountain range, featuring diverse geological formations and extensive cave systems.

The mountain has been an integral part of the Apennine range, which has functioned as a natural boundary throughout Italian territorial development.

The mountain paths connect several traditional Tuscan villages where local residents maintain centuries-old practices of agriculture and wine production.

Visitors can access Monte Retaia through multiple marked trails, with the main route starting from the eastern base and leading to the summit.

The mountain houses the notable Buca del Cane cave system, while its slopes support rare species of orchids and Centaurea solstitialis flowers.
