Planning the Setteponti route

The Via dei Setteponti can be completed on foot in two to three days or by bicycle in one to two days. If the Via dei Setteponti is the focus of the trip, the mode of transport is the first time-related planning factor. The cycling option is therefore shorter in terms of time than the walking option, while both follow the same route.

The Setteponti route runs predominantly along paved minor roads. On short sections, it also follows unpaved paths and white roads. For route planning, this means that the surface types change within the same route. Those traveling on foot or by bicycle therefore need to consider not only the duration but also the condition of the individual sections. Consequently, route selection depends not only on the duration but also on the different surfaces.

An announced festival with several focal points

In San Giustino Valdarno, the traditional Festa del Perdono was announced as a five-day event featuring live music, food and drink, sports, charitable initiatives, performances and religious celebrations. The announced program also included an 11th MTB gathering entitled “Pedali sotto le Stelle”. The MTB gathering is a separate item within the five-day framework.

In the announced program, the Festa del Perdono thus combines cultural, culinary, sporting, social and religious focal points. The announced five-day framework remains decisive for the festival’s timing.
