Franciscan Trail: Pilgrimage Through Nature and Spirituality

Introduction to the Franciscan Trail

The Franciscan Trail is a scenic path surrounded by nature, beauty, and silence, connecting Assisi to Gubbio, where the Poor Man of Assisi tamed the wolf.

Travelers on this historic and spiritual pilgrimage walk through the same places visited by Saint Francis of Assisi between 1206 and 1207, when he fled Assisi and found refuge in Gubbio.

History and Spirituality of the Trail

Saint Francis’ Journey

Saint Francis often walked this trail with his friars, especially to reach the sacred mountain of La Verna, a place dear to him where he received the stigmata.

A Spiritual Path

The St. Francis Trail is more than a physical journey—it is a spiritual path, with stops and new departures, natural trails, and friendships formed along the way. Pilgrims experience unforgettable emotions and deep spiritual impressions.

Emotions and Inspirations

Those who walk this path often find it difficult to put their experience into words, so powerful and enriching is it in every aspect.
