Since the 8th century pilgrims have hiked the famous Via Francigenca, from the Swiss border town of Bourg-Saint-Pierre to Rome. We offer the full 50 day route, and also various individual stages. These are our favorites:

Stage 1. Hike over the famous St Bernard pass and cross the border into Italy. High mountains and alpine scenery.

Final stage. From the hilltop town of Montefiascone into historic Rome. Follow trails through rural and pristine areas of Italy that many tourists do not visit!
