Via Francigena Tours

Welcome to Via Francigena Tours! We have some exciting walks planned for 2019. So let us take you on a journey along the ancient pilgrim route from Canterbury to Rome. Go to Sigeric’s Stopovers to read about the historical places you will visit.

The entire pilgrimage covers a distance of 1900 km. This amazing journey through history and stunning landscapes passes through four countries. So, whether you wish to spend 90 days covering the entire distance, or just a weekend, we can help you with your plans.

You can choose from our guided and self-guided tours. But, we do specialise in tailor-made pilgrimages designed to meet your dates and specific requirements. So, go to contact and send us your request.

You can start at the beginning and walk from Canterbury to Dover.

Or, begin in the middle in France, Switzerland or Italy. In France, you can walk from Besançon to Jougne near the Franco/Swiss border. Then continue in Switzerland from Jougne to Grand-St-Bernard Pass.  And in Italy, walk through the Aosta Valley from Aosta to Ivrea.

Sample the Via Francigena!

Via Francigena in England
Canterbury Cathedral
Canterbury Cathedral in England is where the Via Francigena pilgrimage begins.  So, visit the Cathedral, have your Pilgrim Credential stamped, and start walking from the zero kilometre milestone.  After visiting the sights of Canterbury, walk through the lush green rolling hills of Kent to the White Cliffs of Dover. And, don’t forget to sample the local produce of Kent along the way!
Lausanne to Grand-St-Bernard Pass
Walk across Switzerland!
Awesome’ is the best word to describe this part of the Via Francigena pilgrim route. Everything about it is ‘awesome’ – from the mighty Lausanne Cathedral, to the majestic Lac Léman, to the Rhône Valley and up to the famous Grand-St-Bernard Pass. In addition, to all this beauty, the local food and wine at the UNESCO listed vineyards is a treat. This pilgrimage is a must do!
Aosta to Rome
Nothing can compare to arriving in Rome under the watchful eye of St Peter! This is the high point of the Via Francigena, and where you receive your Testimonium. You can walk all the way to Rome from Grand St Bernard Pass, or just choose small sections. Don’t miss the Aosta Valley, Tuscany, and Lazio. But, the 100 km from Montefiascone to Rome is required for your Testimonium.
