The Via Francigena is a route consisting of 79 stages, about 1800 km long, starting from Canterbury in England and ending in Rome. The Italian section begins at the Great St Bernard Pass and extends over 45 stages.
The Italian route runs through the country crossing 7 regions: the mountain trails are easy to follow; one often walks on shaded dirt roads and ancient stone mule tracks.
The route is fully marked and there are no technical difficulties along the way.
The route is part of the Walking & Cycling for future project with which Movimento Lento proposes every Friday a walking or cycling route whose start and end points are accessible by public transport (train, bus, etc.)
