Stage description
From the Rifugio, head up the meadow, past the large solitary tree, until a small path begins in the thicket. Follow this for a short while until it joins a road. Follow the road to the right for a few hundred metres until the E1 branches off to the left as a narrow track. Passing a spring, you will soon reach a forest track; turn left. After a short stretch on this, turn left again (this time sharply) and a hiking trail leads you up and down a few small peaks. A short steep descent takes you to a road with a small chapel (approx. 2h 15m to this point). A stony path leads up to Monte delle Scalette and some well-deserved views. For a while, the path remains at the same altitude and follows the ridge before descending gently to Alpe di Caverzano, a cluster of old summer houses. Turn left there and follow the road for a short while until the path branches off to the right. A relatively steep descent for about 45 minutes leads to Agriturismo Fonte al Romito. After the first building, take a sharp left onto the road and continue downhill. Following the road, the route continues gently downhill for another half an hour, through the village of Badia and finally into Montepiano. There are several places to stay and eat, a bakery, a post office and a small grocery shop (the latter, unfortunately, quite expensive).
