La via Francigena in Valle d’Aosta e Piemonte

200 km dal Gran San Bernardo a Vercelli

From the Gran San Bernardo pass in Valle d’Aosta to the rice fields of Piedmont: eight days on foot on ancient paths, Roman roads and secondary arteries. An itinerary that completes the Via Francigena by joining the Via per Roma with the route of Sigerico who comes from France and Switzerland. In Valle d’Aosta you will travel along the Gallie consular road with its medieval bridges, the Roman monuments of the capital, the evocative castles of Verrès, Chàtillon, Nus and Fénis, and the remains of ancient hospitals. And then in Piedmont: along the hills of the morainic amphitheater, through the Canavese vineyards, with Viverone and its lake of glacial origin that legend has it populated by dragons, up to the cultivation of fine rice in the Vercelli area. For each stage, detailed maps, elevations, description of the route, where to sleep, and the most significant places to visit.
