Long before he was recognized as the patron saint of ecology, St. Francis walked the quiet mountain paths, ancient forests, and hidden stone caves of Umbria, seeking a deeper communion with the wild world around him.

While traditional guidebooks track The Way of St. Francis over 500 kilometers from Florence to Rome, this journey listens to a different rhythm. For us, the true heart of the trail leads to Assisi—the birthplace, sanctuary, and final resting place of St. Francis himself.

Over 7 soul-nourishing days, we will journey from the tranquil waters of Piediluco to the sacred hilltops of Assisi. Along the way, our path winds through medieval hilltop villages perched above fertile sun-drenched valleys, sacred groves, cascading waterfalls, and ancient castles.

More than just a trek, this is an invitation to slow down, disconnect from the noise, and immerse yourself in the rich tapestry of Italian culture and raw natural wonder.
