On the Way of St. Christopher
When the soul meets beauty
September 19-27, 2025
We are now in the third edition of this event that wants to celebrate our Cammino.
We will do it the way we like it, walking for 8 days along the piedmont route. We will do it as a group, to rediscover step by step, year after year, the beauty and harmony of our territory, where the plain meets the overhangs of the Carnic Pre-Alps, immersing ourselves in nature and culture, crossing paths that unite small villages, forests, hills and endless stories.
The invitation is open to walkers, pilgrims, curious people and lovers of authentic and sincere Friuli, far from mass tourism, close to the traditions, the land and its waters. It will be a light walk, suitable for all and everyone.
With us will be fellow travelers, nature guides, journalists, bloggers, keepers of the path, people who know and love these places, to tell, chat and share.
Because a journey can be experienced alone, but together it becomes even more of an opportunity for growth.
Some useful details to make the most of this experience
All stages from September 19 to 27 will be on foot and open to all.
You can join us at the stages you prefer, building and living the path as you wish.
Total length of the piedmont route: 145 km

Special Guest 2025
He does not have a driver’s license, tries to use public transportation as much as possible, and has been using a bicycle and traveling on foot to learn about the world for over thirty years. He has organized cycling expeditions to the Soviet Union, China, the Middle East, Scandinavia, Egypt, and Africa; he has traveled throughout much of Italy, Europe, and the world often on his own, with friends or family. He is passionate about gentle mobility and tries to spread and transmit-through writings, meetings, lectures, debates, theatrical performances, musical readings-the beauty of slowness. He is also the artistic director of Ciclomundi, the bicycle travel festival.
