SpasAmiata.
One mountain for four seasons. At any time of the year, Amiata is ready to offer qualified tourist occasions for those who want to spend a holiday in this oasis of peace and quietness. Fortresses and villages rich in medieval traces, surrounded by a vegetation full of forests and water courses offer to young and old people occasions for a holiday based on art and sport. Equipped tourist seasons in winter witness the opening of the ski plants with over 15 km of slopes and 17 climbing plants. In spring and during the summer meadows and countryside are the destination of riding-parties and excursions along equipped paths. In autumn the beech- and chestnut-woods become again the favourite scenario of mushroom searchers, while in the vineyards it is vintage time. The forest, absolute protagonist of the earth of Amiata, brings on the table every year its delicious products, from chestnuts to raspberries and above all it offers very impressive routes to nature and art scholars, to lovers of trekking and walks in the open air. In Bagnore (S. Fiora) and Bagni S. Filippo (Castiglione d'Orcia) there are thermal establishments with thermal-mineral water for every kind of treatment. Not only the naturalistic, but also the social-cultural heritage of this area remained untouched. This area is still strongly soaked in rural traditions and covered with solidarity and hospitality feelings. The natural beauties of the Amiata mountain find an area of special value in the "Fauna Park", an area of observation, study and research of the variegated animal species. Here the wolf of the Apennines finds hospitality and here an ecosystem is kept, assuring the reproduction of foxes, buzzards, hawks, beech-martens, weasels.
