    Starting with a Rest Day?

    ...to Geneva the night before I start walking. August to November sounds like 4 months, but maybe it’s just 3 full months to stay under the Schengen 90 day limit? 3 months is still a lot and plenty of time to walk from Le Puy to SDC, and on to Fisterre and Muxia if you’ve still get anything...

    The Grand Tour d'Italia

    Hi Dave, interesting tour. As for the first/part 2: you also have Via Sallentina option, still in develpment. Second/part 2: Via degli Abati would be interesting till Pontremoli, and from there via Francigena. Also check the "new" Via dei Celti e dei Liguri. "Via del Mare" is also "Via del Sale"...

    So does the OP, which is why he's doing it in two parts.

    Anyone walked the Norte during Semana Santa?

    ...pick up where I left off last time. But what that means is my next trip to Spain will not require an early exit. I can fully exploit my Schengen Visa for the ninety days... So that means I have this great big hole in my itinerary ready to fill up. Norte is my favorite... April/May sounds...

    The Grand Tour d'Italia

    ...in Matera, loop south around the heel, and then proceed northward, finishing on the Slovenian border in mid-May. After 90 days pass and Schengen permits, I'll fly back to Europe, resuming my walk in Bourg-Saint-Pierre, Switzerland, so that I can partially earn my crossing at Grand Saint...

    Help with a Winter Way (no not Invierno… well maybe that will be included)

    I’ve heard good things of the Fisherman’s trail but I think it’s not on my radar because it isn’t a ‘pilgrimage’. Whatever that means. I should definitely consider it though. If it wasn’t in Schengen I would be there for sure

    Amazing Via Francigena

    That's an amazing trek. I walked the last 330 kms of the Francigena in September 2023 from San Miniato to Rome with a group of friends. I would have liked to have walked the 1,000kms from the San Bernhard Pass but that didn't fit in with other plans. However, I wouldn't have contemplated...

    Via Francigena 2025

    ...long ones planned before then - working up to longer distances! I'd like to start in Canterbury, but that creates issues around the 90 day Schengen rule, which might not be a problem for you if you're starting in Lausanne. I'm at very preliminary stages of planning, but did some research on...

    Help with a Winter Way (no not Invierno… well maybe that will be included)

    ...during Spanish caminos but this year I want to get off the beaten route and seem to keep hitting dead ends. As an American I get 90 days in Schengen and want to use them all walking with a start in mid-late January First dream was Via Francigena London to Rome but remote areas and mountain...

    Good info. Perhaps starting a new post thread would find anyone who has done this visa application or wants to learn more. Congrats!

    Amazing Via Francigena

    ...and it looks like I could apply for a long stay visa in France that allows you stay longer than 90 days and to leave France for other Schengen countries. It looks like about 90% of those who apply receive one and the tests mostly revolve around having the financial resources to stay in...

    Amazing Via Francigena

    Amazing, thanks for sharing. I'm interested in starting it in Pontarlier, crossing Switzerland (hello to family), to Rome via Milan (hello family). I'm not entirely sure how long I'd need and the cost involved. Do you have guidebooks to recommend? I prefer to do all the organising myself...
