    Italy...Via Francigena or Way of St. Francis?

    Hi Tim, Which specific route do you recommend on the Mont Blanc, from where to where? I would like to walk in May (Spring), what do you recommend? What about accommodation en route?

    Hi Jill, How are you? Glad to hear from you again. Thanks for the information. Although Mont Blanc is not really a pilgrims route so to speak. Maybe all depends on your own experience?!

    Italy...Via Francigena or Way of St. Francis?

    Tim, I would like more info on Mont Blanc, as a friend and I wish to hike in May next year. Please reply on my email, as this is a Camino forum and I assume we are not allowed to talk about other hikes? [ivar edited out e-mail address. Please use Private Message]

    Italy...Via Francigena or Way of St. Francis?

    Also plan to walk next year (2019) from Luca to Siena. Wonder about food availability en route, cooking facilities at the ostellos, water en route, if anyone can comment on these, please?

    Italy...Via Francigena or Way of St. Francis?

    Thanks Doogman, I follow Camino Ways and thought of booking through them if I walk on my one next year! But together with a friend, I'm brave enough to try anything:Dany uncertainty gives me a kick!

    Italy...Via Francigena or Way of St. Francis?

    Fantastic that there are pelgrims out there who will help us decide by their videos and photos! Next year will be my first Camino in Spring and I hope for not to hot or not to cold in May. Will only a travel sheet do? A friend of mine walked in France in May, she took lovely photos of spring...

    Italy...Via Francigena or Way of St. Francis?

    You won't believe me but I still don't know where it was mended. I tried everything and looked everywhere, but nothing. In the meanwhile, a friend of mine visited her friend in Madrid and brought back the exact poles, remember, the Bonsai ones. I am still glad that I have both pairs, as my...

    Which tour company did you use, is it an international one?

    Italy...Via Francigena or Way of St. Francis?

    Hi Jill, what a surprise! A friend and I did part of the VdP last year. A beautiful route, lots of woods and enough Albergues along route, maybe more of a nature route as history and things to see. Next year another friend and I plan to walk in Italy, but I am now almost sure we will do the...

    Thanks Timr, greetings from Cape Town, South Africa!

    Thanks Timr, can one also just walk in May for instance without booking as I did last year on the via della Plata in Spain? We did not book beforehand and 99% there was a bed available.

    Italy...Via Francigena or Way of St. Francis?

    Is there anyone who walked the Tuscany part recently? I think it is more or less the 153km up to Siena. Also, which is the closest airport to perhaps Siena or are there enough busses to reach the camino ways in Italy?

    Italy...Via Francigena or Way of St. Francis?

    Hi Doogman, I really enjoyed the info that you wrote about your trip. Answers a lot of questions. Just one last question. What was the average price per person in euro for the Ostellos or Hostels etc?
  16. Marietjie

    Italy...Via Francigena or Way of St. Francis?

    Doogman, How was the Route from Siena to Rome? Enough places to sleep and what was the average price for, their, is it Oseros, or what do they call the Albergues? How was the route, flat, uphill etc?

    Italy...Via Francigena or Way of St. Francis?

    Thanks @timr, this will be a tough choice, Luka to Rome, or Florence to Rome or the tuscany route to Siena. One last question, is it safe to walk as a woman alone? I hope more people will come up with suggestions and even more info.

    Italy...Via Francigena or Way of St. Francis?

    I also plan to walk part of the Via Francigena, in May 2019, but don't have a clue what to expect. I heard rumors that accommodation is not easy to find as is on the Camino in Spain. There is also the part that they call the Tuscany route, which ends in Siena and seems better, I am not sure. My...
