Sigeric's Via Francigena
From the Alps to the Po Valley in 89 km, in a land rich with history and nature.
By car you hardly notice, but on foot there is plenty of time to discover the difference between the mountains, the moraine hills and finally the rice fields of Vercelli. The Piedmont stages are rich in history and nature, just think of Ivrea with its mighty castle and the era of great transformations when the city was the almost worldwide capital of computing.
Four days on the road that in Vercelli connect with the Via Alta coming from Monginevro and the Susa Valley, whose variant is of great beauty.
Derived from the technical difficulty and the stamina requirements.

Statistics
A peaceful stage at the foot of the Serra of Ivrea, the largest moraine in Europe, an interesting geological formation that guides our way.
Unofficial variant that shortens the first stage of the route
From the lakeshore of Viverone to the center of Santhià, on dirt roads and paved sections.
Most of the stage takes place on trails and country roads.
Entering Piedmont, the hills soften, and the slopes and elevation changes of the route become less challenging.
