Stage 13
Maranello-San Dalmazio (Mili)
The Apennines begin to present the first climbs, small villages and views. A few kilometers after the start we suggest a visit to the Sanctuary of Puianello, also to catch your breath after the first climb, and observe from above the plains and the Alps, places of the past days’ walk. After the Sanctuary we continue on the ordinary road, not too busy but, when possible, we follow mountain paths, easy and scenic, parallel to the road. When the ascent of the first hills ends, the Apennine ridge stands out before us: stimulating mountain stages await us to reach the now nearby Tuscany.
We have placed the end of the stage shortly after San Dalmazio where, at the moment, there is no hospitality, while there are a few kilometers before and after the town. See map and list with relevant contacts.
