OVERVIEW
OVERVIEW
The Way to Rome, the Via Francigena, is the celebrated pilgrimage to the ‘eternal city’. The Via Francigena has been walked by sovereigns, emperors, commoners and clergy alike. It was the Archbishop Sigeric of Canterbury in 994AD that created a detailed manuscript recording the towns and all of the holy sites that he visited on his way to Rome.
You will walk the Etrurian section – the last 100km from Montefiascone into Rome. Visit the medieval Papal town of Montefiascone overlooking the Bolsena Caldera Lake, also known for its white wine. Walk on ancient Roman roads via Viterbo, and continue on through beautiful shaded forests, parishes and towns until you reach your magical destination of Rome – the Eternal City.
Note: the astute amongst you may add up the daily walking to over 100km (in fact to nearer 130km)…. this is indeed the case, however, this walk is popularly known as the ‘last 100km to Rome’, we are not deliberately misleading you! There are options to shorten if you wish.
HIGHLIGHTS:
- Walk on the Via Francigena and visit the Cistercian Abbey of St Martins in Cimino
- Visit the ancient stone theatre carved into the rock at Forcassi
- Explore fascinating landscapes, the Italian countryside and historical sites along the way, including the Necropolis – the Fortress of the Popes
- Walk via nature reserves, including the regional park of the ancient city of Sutri and its Roman amphitheatre
- Walk into Rome to the Piazza San Petro and enjoy all the other amazing Roman buildings, including the Colosseum
- Stay in comfortable, family-run accommodations and enjoy delicious Italian culinary specialties

CAMPAGNANO DI ROMA TO LA GIUSTINIANA

Today’s excellent route consists mostly of dirt tracks and serene country trails through the Roman countryside. There’s a small chance you get your feet wet as you cross a stream at the end of the day. You can also take a detour.

LUGGAGE TRANSFERS
This walk has the luggage transferred on all days when walking so you just carry what you need for the day.
AVAILABILITY
We offer this walk from April to October, as it can get quite cold in the depths of winter, and many accommodations close their doors as well at this time.
WEATHER
The temperature increases from the end of March, making walking very pleasant. In summer, it’s quite warm but still good for walking on the trail.
The walk is not offered in winter; we believe spring and autumn are the best times to walk, as the weather is perfect for walking. Summer is exciting as the places you walk through come alive but it will be somewhat hotter.
See the weather information about the average local weather at different times of the year.
INSURANCE
We require that you have adequate travel insurance against potential losses, damage or injury, including cancellation costs and loss of luggage.
