Route detailsSources consulted on 29 September 2026: CAI Fabriano, Sibillini National Park, other park authorities, Parks.it and Visit Sibillini. The catalogue is expanding and is not an exhaustive list of the trail network. A dash indicates information unavailable in the source consulted.
Comparing kilometres is not enough: duration, elevation gain, terrain and difficulty determine how demanding a walk is. Open the route guide and check its source. Missing catalogue data remain unavailable: they are not calculated from the map position or inferred from the trail's name.
Not always. Check whether the source describes a loop, a one-way section or a complete route. For one-way itineraries, also consider the return journey; do not automatically double the figures without knowing the route.
