The starting point of this tour is in the picturesque historic center of Pontremoli, right next to the medieval Cresa Bridge. From here continue through the village until you reach Colle del Piagnaro and its castle, then go down to Piazza del Duomo and Piazza della Repubblica and exit the village through Porta Fiorentina. Continue towards Filattiera along the Via Francigena through the village of Santissima Annunziata, until you enter the Valle del Caprio and continue along the Nature Trail towards Ponticello and its medieval tower-houses.
Once you have left the village, stay on the Via Francigena pedaling along the banks of the Magra River to the Romanesque parish church of Sorano. Then go up the Bagnone Valley to the village of the same name and its castle in the direction of Villafranca Lunigiana. At this point, follow the beautiful paths immersed in the greenery of the Mulazzo Nature Trail to finally return to the historic center of Pontremoli.
Along the way there are self-repair columns and countless stops for tourist visits and food and wine experiences. The starting point of this tour is easily accessible by train. Pontremoli is in fact located along the Parma - La Spezia railway line, served by frequent regional trains that also allow bike transport.
