Selected alternatives for you
    The «Via Francigena» is one of the 3 Christian pilgrimage routes of the Middle Ages, whose main axis runs from Canterbury in England to Rome. This documentation currently covers the section from Pontarlier to Rome...

    Some pilgrims (like our photographer Robi) may also be tempted, after days in the Alps, in the rice fields of Lomellina, and finally in the Apennines, to now experience the coast up close on the Riviera, then probably also take a bath or even enjoy the healing effect of the salty sea water during a rest day on the coast. The Italian «dolce far niente» will help us recharge our batteries. For such pilgrims, the 20 km long Costa de Versilla variant listed here is recommended.

    Author’s recommendation

    The stages in this documentation are suggestions that each pilgrim can adapt to their wishes. However, the technical data always assume that these stages are completed in one day each.
