Explore the Italian Camino on this rewarding stage of the Via Francigena
When walking the Italian Camino, there are several stages to complete before you finally walk the Via Francigena to Rome. The
Fidenza to Tuscany stage of the
Via Francigena occurs in the Northern part of Italy. As such, the landscape and culture are distinct from their southern Italian counterparts. For a fully rounded Via Francigena experience, it makes sense to do both stages - even if you have to accomplish them on separate trips!
The highlights of walking from Fidenza to Tuscany along the Via Francigena are the Parma Hills, which are a foretaste of the
Tuscan mountains to come. There are a few slight climbs, such as to the top of Mount Valoria and over the Cisca Pass, but these reward pilgrims with stupendous vistas over the Lombardy and Lunigiana plains.
