Wandelgids Walking guide to Via Francigena – Canterbury to Great St Bernard - wandelen naar Rome deel 1| Cicerone

Complete guide by Alison Raju to the first half of the Via Francigena pilgrim walking route – 1900km of contrasting terrain from Canterbury to Rome – as far as the Great St Bernard Pass. First full guide (in any language), with information about facilities and historical sites. A European Cultural Itinerary, it is now increasingly waymarked.

The Via Francigena, a 1900km pilgrim trail from Canterbury to Rome, leads down through north-eastern France, Switzerland, over the Alps by the Great St Bernard Pass and then down through Italy to reach the ‘Eternal City’. Classified as a European Cultural Itinerary in 1994, it is now becoming increasingly popular.

Most who walk the route are not experienced walkers but this first walking guide to the whole trail offers all the information they will need to tackle it, step by step.
