This section of the Via Francigena is far more than a pilgrim trail, it is an epic and easy bike ride from the Alps to the vast and fertile Po River plain, keeping everyone including: foodies, wine lovers, history buffs and landscape “aficionados” entertained

Starting from the Gran San Bernard pass, on the Swiss-Italian boarder, skirt the lake, towered by 3000m peaks and freewheel down the road to the ancient Roman city of Aosta. Criss-cross the fast flowing Dorea Baltea river on cycle paths and stone walled country lanes as you exit the Aosta Valley. Continue through a scenic landscape of gently rolling hills, on your way stop to visit imposing castles, chartreuse, churches and roman ruins as you eat and drink your way through the best Northern Italian cuisine has to offer.

N.B.Saint Bernard Pass open from end of June
