Segment 1.3 between Ellera and Pontassieve: progressive transition from the Firenze belt toward Valdisieve, with mixed surfaces and gradually increasing elevation demand. It matters because it sets pace, load and planning before the Appennine climb; in summer, early starts and explicit water-point checks are recommended.
