Via di Linari Walking Experiences
The Via di Linari is an ancient pilgrimage route and historic variant of the Via Francigena, crossing Parma and the surrounding countryside, then climbing the Apennines toward Lunigiana and Tuscany.
We offer the route as a flexible, modular experience:
self-guided or guided, with organizational support, logistics, and daily luggage transfer — easily integrated into broader programs combining walking, culture, and food experiences.
The Castle of Torrechiara: our landmark
The Castle of Torrechiara is the heart of our territory — a place of universal beauty where architecture, landscape and agriculture exist in perfect harmony.
From here we design cultural itineraries, food experiences and special events that bring travelers closer to the real Parma.
