Orte: A walking trail to Fonte Virgiliana

Percorso 15 offers a specific point of reference for a stay in Orte: the 1.2-kilometre walking trail runs through Contrada Orte to Fonte Virgiliana. It features a route through the Contrada, a wooded section and a clearly named destination. This gives you a specific point of reference in Orte for planning your trip.

A walking trail through Contrada Orte

Percorso 15 starts on Via Martiri della Libertà and runs along Via Orte through Contrada Orte to Fonte Virgiliana. At 1.2 kilometres, it is a short walk that connects a specific starting street with a route through the Contrada and a named destination. The Contrada is part of the route. If you are choosing a place based on a walk with a local connection, this sequence gives you a tangible point of reference. The short distance gives the walk a clear scope for planning, while the streets, Contrada and destination define its local character.

Elevation and condition of the destination

The wooded section of Percorso 15 begins at an elevation of about 665 metres and reaches Fonte Virgiliana at 630 metres. The elevation difference between the two stated points is around 35 metres. These elevation figures provide a second kind of orientation alongside the street names, showing where the wooded section and destination lie in terms of elevation. Fonte Virgiliana is currently considered abandoned; this condition is just as much a part of understanding the destination as its location at 630 metres.

Other trails in the Staro context

Two other routes can be found in the wider Staro area. Sentiero D passes Fonte Jolanda and continues through the Contrade of Offiche, Onegra, Zao and Stoccheghe. The spring and the four Contrade are distinctive points of reference that set this trail apart from the route through Contrada Orte.

Sentiero A starts at Piazzale di Staro and runs via Loc. Roccoli, Staro Mille, Piazza delle Erbe and Barloche to Rifugio Campogrosso. Its stops provide their own points of reference: the starting point, intermediate locations and Rifugio define the sequence. The three trails therefore differ above all in their named destinations and waypoints. Percorso 15 runs through Contrada Orte to Fonte Virgiliana, Sentiero D passes a spring and continues through several Contrade, and Sentiero A stretches from Piazzale di Staro to Rifugio Campogrosso. This lets you consider the trail that best matches your preferred local connection separately from the other route options.
