The route of Sibillini trail 572
In San Pellegrino, which trail 515 from Norcia also passes through, there are a drinking water point right at the start and the Fontanile, a water trough, near the church. The climb is continuous and fairly steep, with an average gradient of 16 percent.
At km 1.6 the trail passes a couple of hundred meters from a viewpoint and a parking lot; at km 2.7 another parking lot is seventy meters from the trail, a sign that a road comes close here. Right after comes the only almost level section, about three hundred meters long. The last 1.3 km are the hardest: over 250 m of elevation gain up to the junction with trail 571.
