The locations below are references in order of passage, not mandatory daily stages. Tra due località possono esserci soste intermedie; chilometri, varianti, segnaletica e servizi vanno verificati prima della partenza.

Come leggere difficoltà e tempi

Lo sforzo fisico stimato segue i criteri orari MIDE: livelli 1–5 per giornate fino a 1, 3, 6, 10 ore e oltre. Assumiamo un sentiero regolare a 4 km/h, salita a 400 m/h e discesa a 600 m/h; il tempo maggiore si somma a metà del minore. Tempi senza soste, da adattare a passo, zaino e condizioni.

La difficoltà comprende anche fondo, orientamento, esposizione e meteo. Questi aspetti richiedono informazioni del gestore: lo sforzo qui calcolato è una parte della valutazione, non un punteggio MIDE completo. Quote incomplete: nessuna classificazione automatica.
