Charming local hotels

On the Via Francigena, we use a range of 2-3 star hotels, often family run. These charming hotels provide access to local living thanks to your hosts. The hospitality is generous and their local knowledge is invaluable. Where possible, we choose hotel locations that add to your experience.

Hybrid bike

During the trip you will be provided with a 21 speed hybrid bike. You will also receive a pannier to carry your gear for the day, bike computer, map holder, lock and repair kit. Note helmet rental is not available.

E-bike

An electric bike is available on request. A supplement applies, see below.

Electric bikes, or e-bikes, are designed to make cycling easier. The pedalling ‘boost’ provided by an e-bike opens up more options, allowing people of different fitness levels to cycle together or for cyclists to take on routes they may otherwise consider too tough for their current fitness capabilities. Please note that e-bikes are heavier than normal bikes and given the higher speed possible, should only be ridden by confident cyclists.

For this trip we use TRD e-bikes with an aluminium hydro formed frame, Schwalbe marathon tyres, 28 inch double wall wheels, Shimano Alive 9 speed and hydraulic disk brakes. The battery motor is Active Torque 250W. 36v with speed sensor and an upper speed limit of 25km per hour. The bike weighs around 21kg. You will also receive a pannier to carry your gear for the day, map holder, lock and repair kit. Helmet rental is not available.
