Via Francigena on race bike: discover the paths of this extraordinary route

The Via Francigena is one of the most interesting routes in Europe, for all lovers of active tourism. Riding the Via Francigena on a race bike gives you the opportunity to combine sport, nature, fun, and culture, along a route that you can literally tailor-make to your liking.

Historically, the Via Francigena is a bundle of routes that connect Canterbury to Rome and today, it has been valued by numerous regions as a route not only of religious significance, but first and foremost of sustainable tourism.

You can choose to travel the entire Via Francigena on a race bike , or only some sections: among these, do not miss the section crossing Tuscany. Between Chianti and Val d'Orcia, you will have a full immersion in landscapes dotted with vineyards and ancient villages, but the advice is not to stop here and continue on your bike until Rome.

The Apennine section connecting Lombardy with Tuscany, passing through Emilia, and in particular Parma, is also very interesting. Here you can stop to taste the typical Emilian products, visiting one of the most beautiful art cities in northern Italy.
