Stage Description
This is one of the longest and most demanding stages of the Via di San Francesco, a journey that introduces pilgrims to the region of Sabina, land of olives and medieval villages. The route is beautiful, with a very broken profile and continuous ups and downs. It's an stage that requires good physical and mental preparation. Arrival in Ponticelli di Scandriglia, a small village in a rural setting, is a well-deserved rest after a day of great effort. This is a stage of overcoming, which rewards with spectacular landscapes.
The stage from Monterotondo to Ponticelli di Scandriglia is a long and demanding 28.8 km journey that ventures into the heart of the Sabina, a region of hills famous for its olive oil. The route starts in Monterotondo (165 m) and faces a very broken profile with a continuous rise and fall that accumulates considerable incline. The route traverses a beautiful landscape with olive groves, forests, and medieval villages perched on the hills. It is a walk that requires good physical preparation but rewards with the beauty of its scenery and the authenticity of its villages. Arrival in Ponticelli di Scandriglia (251 m), a small village belonging to the municipality of Scandriglia, is well-deserved rest. This stage defines the experience of walking through the Sabina: a test of endurance that strengthens the pilgrim's spirit and allows him to discover one of Italy's most authentic central areas.
