Any thoughts/advice on the latest we should considering planning on walking the St Bernard Pass? We are ok with cold, but snow is another story! When does it start to snow there--usually? thanks!
Hi, sorry for the confusion, my wife and i will be finishing our via on 6/25--in rome, we are not stopping short!
Generally, lodging is not a problem, no need to book too far in advance--a few days before has been sufficient for us. Will send some documents we have acquired which have helped...
My wife and i have walked from Aosta near the Swiss border to within 100km of Rome on the Via Francigena, and would be happy to answer any questions from pilgrims interested in this amazing route.
We have also done the Caminos de Norte and Primitivo to Santiago de Compostela.
Buon cammino!

Since we are leaving in mid-april, we will not be able to get our credential at San Bernardo, but can we get it in Aosta?
Or for that matter, anywhere in that area? Don't really want to walk without it, and don't want to pay 40E to have it shipped to the USA.
grazie mille!
Well, snow-capped peaks sounds pretty nice! And that would eliminate the need for a taxi ride to St. Rhemy, which is a good thing. Thanks for the idea!
Now, i realize we probably won't be able to start at San Bernardo, where we would like to start, but does anyone know how close we will be able to get to there about April 20th? In other words, where does the road open on the way from San Bernardo to Echevennoz?
Anyone else starting the VIA...
