Via Francigena - St Bernard Pass to Ivrea

Welcome to the Gran St Bernard Pass! Leave your bags at our accommodation, Hotel Italia. Pilgrims have stayed in this building during their journeys since ancient times. The rest of the day is spent taking in the stunning surroundings and resting up for tomorrow’s hike.

Today we leave the Gran St Bernard Pass and head out into the mountains. Today’s route goes along smaller paths through an incredibly beautiful environment, with small mountain villages scattered here and there surrounded by green meadows and fantastic views. Some parts of today’s hike are relatively steep so there are several alternative routes that are easier. Towards the afternoon we arrive in the cosy village of Etroubles, where we spend the rest of the evening and night.

Today’s route takes us along the rugged mountains, through meadows and beautiful pine forests until we reach the old stream ‘Ru Neuf’, where we stop for a short break. The last bit to the final destination of the day, Aosta, is all downhill. So instead of hiking the last bit, you can choose to take a bus to explore the small village of Gignod, before returning to Aosta.

Today we will walk through a beautiful and unique landscape with grand castles and picturesque vineyards as surroundings. The uniqueness of this area besides the castles are all the hemispherical carvings found in the mountains, made by prehistoric people.
The day ends in the mountain village of Nus.

The first stage of the day takes you along old man-made canals, which still irrigate the crops on the slopes of the Valle d’Aosta. The walk then continues into a wine district, here you have the chance to visit the sacred temple of Crotta de Vegneron. The evening ends in Saint Vincent.

Today we leave Saint Vincent and walk down the valley towards the beautiful Saint German Castle. From here we walk along the old road, Strada della Gallie. The last part of the today’s hike takes us through stunning scenery over rugged mountains and through lush forests before we reach our final destination of Verrés.

Today we will take a short trip back in time. During the day we walk past the old parish church of San Martino before crossing the ancient Enchallod Bridge. Take the chance to look for traces of Roman chariots on ‘The ancient road of the Guals’. After a lovely and interesting day we arrive in Pont Saint Martin.

Today’s hike takes us through a stunning area of rolling Piedmont hills, pretty little mountain villages and a countryside full of wildlife and beautiful scenery. Our final destination is the picturesque town of Ivrea. Here, in addition to enjoying fine castles, interesting museums and modern architecture, you can also take part in the incredible food culture the town offers.

We at EverTrek hope you have had a great trip!
We hope to see you again.

Welcome to Aosta! After checking in at the hotel, we recommend you head out into the small village. Walk along the river that runs through the village and visit the old castle adjacent to the village. End the evening with a good meal at one of the village’s cosy and good restaurants.
