About

A 131.8 km cultural walk from Bologna to Firenze. Six stages of ancient Etruscan tracks and the Roman road Flaminia Militare. The Via Degli Dei rises and falls with the Apennine ridge, summiting at Passo della Futa, where the air is crisp and filled with the scent of pine. Each step reveals history, medieval towns like Badolo and Rioveggio, where local flavors mingle with echoes of the past. With a total elevation gain of 4,921m, it’s accessible yet challenges the spirit. Hike it in spring or fall for the best experience, nature and culture await.
