Grading

MODERATE – GRADE 3
This is a moderate grade walk along paths that are well defined and clearly marked. There are some stages on alternate days which are more demanding in mountainous terrain and ascents are up to just over 600m. The whole itinerary is mainly on paths and gravel roads (strade bianche), and some sections on asphalted road. You should be able to walk for up to 23km per day in sometimes hot sun on stony tracks. The classic Umbrian landscape of hills (sometimes steep), olive groves and forests, are traversed each walking day.
A good level of fitness is required and prior experience is advisable. As with all of our trips it is important that you are well prepared. We suggest that you undertake regular exercise – swimming, cycling, and jogging, three to four times a week for three months prior to your departure.

What You Carry

As the walks are fully supported you only need to carry a daypack with your daily requirements including wet weather gear, water bottle, lunch supplies, mobile phone and sun protection etc.
