The Via Francigena has been the main connection between Rome and Europe for centuries, and it continues to be so today. In fact, in 2004, it was declared a "Great European Cultural Route" by the Council of Europe, and in 2007, it was recognized as a "Reseau porteur," a key network. For the Province of Pavia, the Pavia section of the Via Francigena (as well as the entire route) serves as a model for enhancing and restoring the architectural and environmental heritage of the province's artistic and cultural assets. The Via Francigena is a valuable resource to be shared and offered to pilgrims and tourists alike, as well as to local residents, showcasing the beauty of the churches, monuments, the University, the river, and the forests that define the landscape along the route. The section of the Via Francigena that crosses the Province of Pavia begins in Palestro, in the heart of Lomellina, and reaches Chignolo Po, covering a total of 126 kilometers, which can be completed in three major stages: The first stage, about 42 kilometers long, runs from Palestro to Tromello. The second stage, 32 kilometers, goes from Tromello to Pavia. The final stage, 52 kilometers, extends from Pavia to the hamlet of Lambrinia in Chignolo Po. These three stages mirror the stops made in the Pavia area by Sigeric, Archbishop of Canterbury, on his return journey from Rome. He passed through Santa Cristina Bissone, Pavia, and Tromello, marking them as the 40th, 41st, and 42nd stops of the 79 total stages of the European route. This itinerary is designed for those who love to travel on two wheels. It can be tackled with either mountain bikes or city bikes and does not present significant elevation challenges. The maximum elevation gain is less than 15 meters, with the highest point at 121 meters in Palestro and the lowest at 50 meters in Lambrinia, along the Po River embankment, marking the final stop in the Pavia territory. The starting point is the wooden bridge over the Crocettone canal, marking the border between the provinces of Vercelli and Pavia. In the Province of Pavia, the cycling route runs near two railway lines, the Pavia-Mortara-Vercelli and the Pavia-Codogno-Cremona, both of which allow bike transport. On roads open to motorized traffic, it is recommended to always wear a helmet and to ride preferably between 9:00 and 11:30 AM or between 2:00 and 5:00 PM to avoid peak traffic hours.
