Segment 6.2 between Rifugio Casa Santicchio and La Verna (Santuario): Appennine Casentino section with mostly forest terrain, variable gradients and sparser services than valley towns. It matters because it builds toward Camaldoli/La Verna, where weather and real moving time often matter more than nominal distance; from November to March, protect daylight and surface buffers.
