In order to divide the original 38-kilometre stage, which would otherwise be beyond the reach of less experienced pilgrims, the ancient Hermitage of San Pietro in Vigneto has been restored and brought back into use. This place welcomes wayfarers and pilgrims, and it is advisable to contact it in advance to ensure overnight availability.
The stage retraces, in the opposite direction, one of Saint Francis’s most important journeys. It begins by leaving Gubbio along the four-kilometre straight road leading to Ponte d’Assi. The route then continues along an unpaved road and, once the ridge has been reached, enters the valley of the Chiascio River. It then arrives at the small church of Le Ripe, where memories of passing pilgrims are still preserved.
From here, the route begins to climb through conifer woods until reaching the Hermitage of San Pietro in Vigneto.
