Section 4 of 4
North to south, out of season
The country when the campsites are shut. Outside July and August the coast shuts and the high passes are closed. What is left is inland, quieter, and longer than it looks on a map.

Four guides in this section
- The country, north to south, out of seasonOutside July and August much of the coastal infrastructure is shut, and the route moves inland by necessity.
- The Dolomites, and the rifugi above the roadThe valley floors take a van; everything interesting is above them and reached on foot.
- Tuscan back roads, and where a long vehicle should not goWhite gravel roads between agriturismi are fine until a passing place is needed.
- The long run southBelow Naples the distances get real and the service network thins out.
