Air: (See map in ssss1.) For the Sibillini the most convenient places to fly into are the airports on the Adriatic coast: Ancona and Pescara are served by RyanAir (www.ryanair.com), while Rimini’s flights come courtesy of Easyjet (www.easyjet.com). A good distance inland is Perugia, another handy arrival point thanks to recent services by Ryanair. Also fairly convenient are Rome’s two airports: Fiumicino (flights by British Airways www.ba.com) and Ciampino, which is served by both the above-mentioned low cost companies. All have bus connections to railway stations.

Trains and Buses: Public transport is a wonderful way to travel anywhere as it gives a privileged insight into a different way of life and facilitates encounters with the locals. While sometimes slower and less flexible than self-driving, it means passengers don’t have to worry about missing a turn-off and are free to enjoy the wonderful scenery. Services are reliable and fares reasonable thanks to state subsidies. Last, but definitely not least, it discourages visitors from introducing more polluting vehicles into the wonderful Italian countryside. Don’t believe anyone who tells you that public transport is not feasible – this guide was researched using it! While not every corner of the Sibillini can be reached in this way, remember that most villages have someone on hand to act as a taxi driver – ask at the local café or bar. Moreover don’t hesitate to request a lift from your hotel or rifugio, as most willingly ferry guests to and from bus stops and walk starts.
