Be a pilgrim for a day on one of our guided Via Francigena walks and hikes in Tuscany.
The Via Francigena was the main route connecting the whole of Europe in the Middle Ages, walked by pilgrims, merchants and armies. The historic itinerary we know today was described by Sigeric, the archbishop of Canterbury, in his travel journal during his trip to Rome, and is now walked by more and more pilgrims and travellers, representing one of the main historic routes in our Country and in Europe.
The Via Francigena enters in Tuscany through the Cisa Pass, stretching along the whole of the Lunigiana valley, crossing the two main stages of Pontremoli and Aulla before getting to the coast.
