Old pilgrim ways don’t exist anymore? | Day 4 of Via Francigena from Altopascio to Fucecchio
Several days before… The last two days we had the time out of the trail because we needed to get some shopping done and also because we felt like we needed a break from that heat. So the first day we went from campsite in Torre Daniele to Ivrea – the closest biggest town where there was a Decathlon sports goods store. Our shoes were already tearing apart especially after challenging mountain hike we did recently and it has been a year since we changed them. So we thought it was a good moment to buy a new pair. Fortunately we found the shoes quite easily in the trail running…

Hiking through medieval villages and castle Forte di Bard | Day 3 of Via Francigena from Arnad to Pont Saint Martin
It was the third day of Via Francigena trail when we hiked around 20 kms from the village Arnad to Pont Saint Martin. We had a very quiet and calm night in the secluded forest place that we found yesterday. Luckily nobody came up to disturb us and that because of the camp spot we chose was not possible to see even up close. We slept for 8 hours straight and with fresh powers were ready to hit the trail. It was very hot and kind of stuffy at night and we slept almost without any clothes and were not using sleeping bags. Having had our breakfast and wrapped everything…

Because of that we got up one hour later than we planned and started the day a bit late. The start of the day was sunny and warm and was very similar to the previous one. The air was more fresh and cool after the rain and it was a great sensation. We went down to the town Saint Vicent and bought two cherry ice creams to have something sweet after…

Hiking along the Italian farmland and vineyards | Day 1 of Via Francigena from Aosta to Chatillon
Our first day of Via Francigena started quite late at 11am in the morning. Because before we stayed for several days in the campsite in Aosta and we got lazy and a bit disorganized as it happens always when you stop at one place for some time. We needed to have a break from our previous hike Tour de Mont Blanc to restore our powers. And so, it took time to gather all our things together and we hoped to get into the hiking routine back soon. We decided to do the Via Francigena because we really wanted to explore more of Italy and also we needed some easier trail…
