[QUOTE="Rex, post: 1194349, member: 30442"] I used Gronze.com and All Trails apps this past September to walk from Martigny, SW to Lucca, IT. Note well -- Gronze.com doesn't start until the top of the GSB Pass and continues on the route to Rome. Using these offline resources makes navigating the route much safer/easier than it was in the past. The official trail has had some changes to it (made for safety reasons by locals, according to one hotel owner), particularly in the Val d'Aosta, both on the descent from GSP Pass and at a few places between Aosta and Ivrea. So, there are a number of "old" VF markings or signs at intersections where the "new" route deviates from the path my guidebook suggested. I generally stayed with the route that All Trails and Sloways suggested, as the two of them seemed to mostly agree. NOTE: It's very tough on the VF organization(s) to keep up with what the locals are doing (like a farmer who put up "NO ENTRY" signage and planted a huge rice field across the VF route), but in this case, the locals have done yeoman's work in designing a "new" passage that only adds one KM to that stage. Unfortunately, several hundred yards of the detour are on a busy highway with almost no verge. My host that evening told me they are working on an alternative route that keeps pilgrims off the highway, but that takes time to work out... the effective motto for these local organizations seems to be "make haste, but slowly". Buon Cammino [/QUOTE]
