Stage 1 of the Cortona joiner walks from Cortona to Rigutino, covering about 24.9 km with roughly +759 m of ascent and -812 m of descent. The checked source note says: Variant 1.2; overnight options include Eremo Le Celle and Castiglion Fiorentino. Keep the final public copy practical: this is a joiner route into the Firenze trunk, and the source material notes harder mountain walking and uneven route marking.
