Recognise the regional route, daily stage and variant

The national tourism board’s northern Lazio itinerary runs from Centeno to Rome. Its overview has a GPX download, nine stages and several local alternatives. Scroll to the towns you need and check their names as well as the stage number, which can vary between guidebooks.

Compare the official stage and alternative route listings

Locate both ends of the alternative

Display the stage and the variant together. Trace each line from the exit of Sutri to the point where they meet again. The alternative replaces the stretch between these junctions. Adding the whole 7.4 km to 23.8 km would count both ways through the same part of the day.

Save a track name you will recognise at a junction

Use separate names for the day’s stage to Campagnano and for the alternative exit from Sutri. Pan to the far end of the day’s track and find Campagnano. If the line runs out where the two routes join, save the onward track as well. Check current notices before choosing a branch.

Your plan, step by step

  • Read the place names at both ends
  • Find the split and the rejoining point
  • Save the route that takes you on to Campagnano
