“When you drink water, don’t forget the spring from which it flows.”<\/em><\/p>CHARLES DICKENS<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n

When planning a trip along the Alta Via dei Monti Lattari, it is very important to plan for stops and supplies. Knowing the trail and all water sources well allows you to be better organized and carry the right amount of water with you without getting too heavy or risking running out.<\/p>\n\n

We recommend carrying at least 3 liters of water with you in the initial stretches from the Quarry Corps to Santa Maria al Castello, especially in the warmer months. Then from Santa Maria a Castello to Termini we pass through many villages with fountains and refreshment places where we can refuel more frequently and thus travel even with 2 liters of water.<\/p>\n\n

Below are all the water sources among springs and fountains found along the Alta Via dei Monti Lattari, CAI 300 trail.<\/p>\n\n
