This self-guided trek gives you the chance to explore this historic region at your own pace on foot while having all the necessary tools and information beforehand: the route notes, places of interest, accommodation and transport all accessible through an easy and intuitive app.
The Italian Camino via Francigena, is an ancient pilgrimage route similar to the trail of Santiago di Compostela in Spain, covers 1900kms from Canterbury to Rome. Crossing 4 European countries: the UK, France, Switzerland and Italy; it travels through areas of spectacular beauty and historic interest.
Following in the footsteps of countless pilgrims, your self-guided camino trek covers the final 125kms of the legendary trail from Montefiascone to the Vatican City through the rolling hills Tuscany. The Via Francigena route is a Council of Europe European Cultural Itinerary since 1994 and Major Cultural Route since 2004 plus it’s much quieter than the Camino de Santiago routes in Spain.
Marvel at a fine blend of scenic beauty with vibrant green countryside dotted with vineyards, hazel & olive groves, huge old oak trees and some of Europe’s largest volcanic lakes. Plus enjoy some well deserved rest stops and the chance to meet friendly locals with passing through medieval towns, remote hilltop monasteries and quaint Italian villages. Add fabulous local food and wine into the mix and you have the perfect recipe for a trip to remember especially with the grand finale of entering the Vatican City.
Enjoy the peace of mind knowing that your luggage will be transferred with ease and a good night’s rest awaits at each of the family run hotels enroute. Your local guide has indepth knowledge of the trail and is passionate to share this with you.
They say all roads lead to Rome, though this one warrants an incredible adventure!

The walks are not technically difficult although there are some steep ascents and descents, so a good level of fitness is required.

We advise bringing hiking boots and trail running trainers as this will allow you to alternate them at any stage to avoid blisters and pain.
Preparation is key to help you get the most enjoyment and reward from this trek. A good level of fitness, endurance and some gritty determination will help you conquer each day.

Finish with your evening meals with a classic Roman dessert; crostata di ricotta (cheesecake) or a fine Italian coffee.
If you enjoy the odd tipple of wine, then this trek’s for you. On day one in Montefiascone, enjoy sampling a glass the straw coloured Est! Est!! Est!!! di Montefiascone (also known as Est! Est!! Est!!!). Also try Frascati, referred to by Romans as the Golden Wine both for its colour and value, or Cesanese del Piglio which is a full bodied red.
