The Meadows of Logarghena, located at 1,000 meters above sea level on the southeastern side of Mount Braiola, offer vast grasslands that stretch out like a panoramic balcony over the Magra Valley. From this vantage point, the view spans the surrounding landscape—from the majestic Apuan Alps to the peaks of the Apennines, dominated by Mount Marmagna.
In the past, these meadows were intensively used for cattle grazing—an activity that has since declined but still continues, with flocks of Massese sheep, recognizable by their characteristic dark coats, grazing here during the summer months.
Today, the Meadows of Logarghena are a popular destination for hiking, walking, and picnicking. In May, the fields are blanketed with blooming daffodils, while in late summer, they are dotted with a variety of mushrooms.
Several trails from here lead to Monte Orsaro, Monte Marmagna, and Lake Santo Parmense. Along the way, you can pass through blueberry-covered moorlands and stop at local shelters and bivouacs, including the Mattei Refuge, Tifoni Bivouac, and Mariotti Refuge.
