Luca Bruschi, EAVF director, and Elena Dubinina, International Relations advisor, walk from Orbe to the Grand Saint Bernard Pass, one of the most fascinating points of the Via Francigena, during a 10-day trip.

The team is covering 200 km of the Swiss stretch between the cantons of Valais and Vaud, exploring the route and its landscapes and, at the same time, meeting several representatives of the local authorities, tourism offices and other stakeholders involved in development and management of the Via Francigena, to reinforce the network that is consolidating along the way.
