About
Three hundred one kilometers from Norcia to Cassino, 16 stages of history, faith, and nature. The Cammino di San Benedetto traces the steps of St. Benedict, founder of Western monasticism, through valleys and rugged hills. You’ll climb 7,860 meters, feeling the cool air shift as you reach each peak. Key waypoints like Cantalice and Montecassino are more than stops; they’re invitations to pause and reflect. April to June and September to October are ideal for this journey, when the wildflowers bloom and the air carries the scent of earth after rain.
