Arcidosso appeals to travellers who want to combine nature, history and regional specialities. The range extends from animal and plant species to mountains and distinctive landscapes, as well as castles, monasteries, museums and a regional speciality.

Nature, mountains and wildlife
The Parco Faunistico del Monte Amiata was established in the 1990s on the initiative of the municipality of Arcidosso to protect the animal and plant species found on Monte Amiata. Along the marked trails in the park, you can observe red deer, fallow deer, roe deer, mouflon and the Apennine wolf living in the wild from a distance.
A trekking route through the park lasting approximately three hours leads to the summit of Monte Labbro; from there, the view extends across the entire valley to Argentario. The Riserva Naturale Monte Labbro covers approximately 60 hectares of chestnut groves, located mainly on the northern slope of Monte Labbro.

Rocca Aldobrandesca is one of the oldest and best-preserved medieval castles in the Amiata area. Its construction probably began around the year 860 on existing buildings dating from the Lombard period.
