Pilgrimage route that connects Canterbury in England to Rome, passing through France, Switzerland, and Italy.
The section of the Via Francigena between Saint-Maurice and the Grand-Saint-Bernard Pass holds particular significance, as it represents both a physical and symbolic ascent to the Grand-Saint-Bernard hospice. The spectacular mountain panoramas encountered along this stretch leave unforgettable memories for the walkers. Historical sites such as the Abbey of Saint-Maurice and the Roman remains in Martigny further enrich the experience of the journey. From Martigny, hikers follow a winding path through a narrow corridor sculpted by the wild Dranse, leading to the northern slope of the Grand-Saint-Bernard Pass. The ascent in the Alps is gradual and gentle: let yourself be enchanted by the snow-capped peaks to which the Via guides you.
The St. Bernard region offers you a package that includes 5 nights with half board in 3-star hotels in Saint-Maurice, Martigny, Orsières, Bourg-Saint-Pierre, and at the Grand-Saint-Bernard Pass (or 7 nights with Etroubles and Aosta). Luggage transport is also included, along with a travel guide and visits to cultural sites. Find all the information at this link.
