In addition to 10% discount on regional routes, supplementary concessions have been agreed for Francigena pilgrims, representing a significant step for promotion of sustainable use of territories.

More than 200 railway stations are located along the Via Francigena itinerary. The goal is therefore to support mobility along the Sigeric’s route sensitive to the environmental impact.
