Sasso di Simone and the northern section of the Nature Reserve are a Military Rifle Range. The access to the area, delimited by special panels, is regulated by the administration of the Ministry of Defense. Therefore, it is necessary to require the authorization to the Municipality of Sestino.
All access routes to Sasso di Simone require a minimum knowledge of the mountains and orienteering skills, as well as a good training and adequate equipment. Some trails may not be easy: especially stretches developing on clayey grounds become impracticable when it rains. During the spring and the summer it is easy to meet cattle grazing: despite the animals are usually docile, it is recommended to keep at proper distance.
