More than a walking holiday, this is a journey through the places that shaped the life of Saint Francis of Assisi. Follow one of Italy's most inspiring pilgrimage routes, from the Sanctuary of La Verna—where Saint Francis received the stigmata—to the medieval towns of Pieve Santo Stefano, Pietralunga, Gubbio, Valfabbrica, and finally Assisi. Walk through peaceful forests, rolling hills, and timeless villages while discovering the stories, miracles, and spiritual legacy of the saint. With expert guidance, luggage transfers, carefully selected accommodations, and authentic Umbrian hospitality, this tour offers the perfect balance of nature, history, culture, and spirituality.
