Stage Description

This stage leaves behind the Rome metropolitan area and enters the Roman countryside, a landscape of gentle hills that leads to the city of Monterotondo. It is a moderate distance journey, with an undulating profile and a beautiful landscape. The path crosses the Marcigliana Natural Reserve, a nature oasis at the gates of Rome. Arrival in Monterotondo, with its medieval historic center, is a stage finale with charm. It's a journey to enjoy nature and tranquility.
The Monte Sacro to Monterotondo stage is an 18km journey that marks the final exit from Rome's agglomeration. The route starts at Monte Sacro (59m) and enters the Roman countryside, with a profile that becomes undulating. The route passes through the Marcigliana Natural Reserve, a protected area of great beauty with hills, forests and fields for cultivation, an authentic green lung on the threshold of the capital. It is a pleasant walk that allows you to enjoy nature and the tranquility of the surroundings. Arrival in Monterotondo (165m), a town situated on a hill with a well-conserved medieval historic center and a ducal palace, is a very rewarding final stage. It's a journey that offers a radical change of scenery, moving from urban surroundings to the serenity of the countryside, and rewards with a destination of great historical and cultural interest.
