The itinerary is divided into three parts:
These 3 APPs, or guides, are an essential source of information for pilgrims, or even hikers, who want to follow all or part of this historic route. The APPs, which will be continuously updated, cover both the official Via Francigena route as well as the useful variants identified and verified in 2015 by AIVF volunteers.
The APPs contain the Association’s suggested accommodations – hotels, guesthouses, cottages, B&Bs, parishes, religious and private homes – which offer hospitality to pilgrims along the route. Some are very economical, but all require continuous updates on availability; AIVF thanks pilgrims for sending information.
The Apps are periodically updated with new improvements, new variants deemed to be advantageous, more direct or safer, and with new places offering hospitality to pilgrims. In some places along these routes, it is possible there will be no connection for your device. Pilgrims and hikers are advised to download maps and routes for offline consultation, so they can check their location even without telephone coverage.
