Best price guaranteed

An exhilarating cycle along the full length of the Via Francigena from the St Bernard Pass on the Swiss border to the Eternal City of Rome. The Via Francigena is far more than just a pilgrim trail. Those with more time can discover the full route, cycling this exhilarating and moderately graded bike ride from the Alps to the Eternal City of Rome. Starting from the Great St Bernard Pass on the Swiss-Italian border, you will discover a huge array of spectacular scenery and impressive towns. The route will take you through the vast and fertile Po River plain, across the fast flowing Dorea Baltea river, through stone walled country lanes as you exit the Aosta Valley, over the hills and vineyards of Tuscany, through beautiful Umbrian countryside, down to Lake Bolsena, and finally along ancient Etruscan roads to the impressive city of Rome and St. Peter’s Square. You will discover historic and culturally rich towns of Vercelli, Pavia, Parma, Lucca, San Gimignano, Siena, Viterbo and Sutri, just to name a few. On the way, take time out of your cycle day to visit imposing castles, churches, roman ruins, hilltop towns and vineyards. A trip to Italy would not be complete without delighting in the local food, and this trip does not disappoint. You will eat and drink your way through the best of northern Italian cuisine, visit the gastronomic heaven of Parma in Emilia Romagna, sample the wines and olive oils of Tuscany and indulge in cheese produced in the zones of the cacio di Pienza.
