Via Francigena on bike with the Touring Club

The Italian Touring Club, in collaboration with the SloWays Association, has created the “Walking with the Touring” program: various proposals for group trips on foot or by bicycle along the Via Francigena. SloWays, the Italian tour operator for slow motion, slow travel, has been involved in years of popularity and promotion of walking tourism. Finally, also the Touring Club was interested in this particular form of travel by developing a series of original proposals for holidays on the road along the most striking Italian paths.

Every package designed for “Walking with the Touring” includes the accompaniment of an expert guide throughout the journey, luggage transportation from one stage to another, great attention to local foods and overnight accommodation in selected facilities.

The Via Francigena was chosen as the main destination of the program. It will be possible to walk on foot, by bicycle or by e-bike.

Other destinations are: the Aeolian Islands volcanoes, the Path of the Gods along the Amalfi Coast, Val di Fassa and the beautiful city of Matera. Each destination can be explored on foot or bike with specially designed tours to appreciate the territory. There are also two hiking trails with donkeys designed especially for families, at Castelluccio di Norcia and the Laga Mountains.
