    Sellos on the Francigena

    Just finished the Francigene from Aosta, never had a problem getting a stamp. All accomodation have a stamp, tourist offices like wise, most businesses will give you their business stamp if you ask politely and show them your credential. 🙏

    2023 Roll Call for Via Francigena

    I was looking to start at the pass in Switzerland and hike down through Aosta. Investigating the historic weather patterns mid to late May stands a better chance for the pass. I think if you start from Aosta you should be ok at that time of the year, but one can never tell. Buen Camino

    2023 Roll Call for Via Francigena

    Yep, I understand that, as I have now started to plan my main objective is GSBP. I have revised my plan and will now fly into Rome and Train/bus to the pass and walk back to Rome. This saves time, money, and reduced distance, avoiding Switzerland. However it’s just a plan so things could change...

    Near Assisi - some advice please

    Hi Celia, I walk the Frances last year, as a sole hiker along with many other male and female hikers. IMO no need to pay tour company. You can walk the Camino from between 25 and 35 euros a day which is dependant on your style. I booked 2 nights in St Jean to rest from the flight from Oz, other...
