Sicherheitshinweis:
Via Francigena - Sembrancher-Bovernier
The path is closed and there is no detour possible.
Hikers must take the train and must not walk along the Great St Bernard road!
Reason: Spring avalanche
Info
near Les Valettes in the valley of the Dranse
We hike southwards along the Vita route and further on the footpath along the railway on the route marked as Via Francigena/70. At the height of "Le Borgeaud" the bridge to the other side of the Dranse has collapsed. Until its replacement, we climb steeply on the right bank up a descending slope to a rocky high path, which later leads down to the Dranse again near Bovernier. However, this particular section is only passable for experienced alpine pilgrims and is considered by many pilgrims to be the "most dangerous section between Canterbury and Rome" (see therefore the alternative "Chemin Dessus" proposed by AIVF).
Anmerkungen
The "Via Francigena" is one of the 3 Christian pilgrimage routes of the Middle Ages, whose main axis leads from Canterbury in England to Rome. This documentation initially covers the section from Pontarlier to Rome.
Tipp des Autors
From Sembrancher onwards, the heartbeat can then be adjusted again to the pulse of a "normal" mountain hike.
