Routes
The routes available on our websites are identified by our technicians, volunteers and/or by people outside our staff members.
The routes will sometimes be digitised, that is, plotted on digital maps and aerial photos using geographical information software, based on information given by hikers.
Whatever the processing technique, GPS trackers may contain errors due to the tools used or survey and plotting methods. In addition, the conditions of the routes can change significantly over time due to vegetation growth, snowfall, hydrogeological instability, roadworks, etc.
Therefore, GPS trackers should be considered indicative tools, just like the information contained in any topographical map.
Routes should particularly be travelled with utmost care and caution in cases of poor visibility and adverse weather conditions.
It may also be possible that the routes cross private property that we are unaware of or potentially dangerous paths due to vehicular traffic or risks of accidental falls (e.g. unprotected crossings, exposed mountain sections, etc.).
The European Association of Via Francigena Ways (EAVF) urges anyone who uses the routes posted on our sites to pay the utmost attention and to not rely solely on GPS tools.
The EAVF will not take any responsibility for any kind of problem or incident that happens along the website’s downloadable routes.
