The second week of this self-guided Via Francigena trek starts in Pont San Martin, which you can easily reach by train or by bus in around two hours and 30 minutes from Milan. This is the road that leads from the Alps to the plains of the PĂ² River, allowing you to experience a great variety of landscapes: from the Alps over Ivrea, to the hills around Vercelli and the wide plain down below.
Towns rich in history alternate with natural landmarks like Viverone Lake. Ancient and medieval towers, churches and Renaissance buildings take you back to the past. You will also see the Sanctuary of Madonna della Bozzola, an important pilgrims destination, along the way.
We book your accommodation along the route in double rooms with private bathrooms in two- and three-star hotels, bed and breakfasts or country inns and you will find the corresponding vouchers in your package. We will also transfer your luggage to all the places you will be staying in during this trip. All you need to do is leave the luggage at the reception desk with your name tag on it and you will find it at your next accommodation.
