SloWays: Walk Your Own Path

SloWays is an Italian tour operator specialized in self-guided walking trips along the great routes of Italy and Europe. Founded in 2014, it is part of an international network with over twenty years of experience in designing active and sustainable travel experiences.

They offer carefully crafted itineraries that allow travelers to explore at their own pace — choosing when to depart, how far to walk, and with whom to share the experience. Logistics, accommodations, and luggage transfers are arranged in advance, ensuring independence without the stress of organization.

Specialized in the Via Francigena caminos, the company is an official partner of the European Association of the Via Francigena Ways, a European Cultural Route that crosses four countries from Canterbury to Rome. Through this collaboration, SloWays actively contributes to the development, protection, and promotion of the Via Francigena, enhancing local economies and preserving the cultural and environmental heritage of the territories it passes through.

SloWays also designs walking and cycling trips along other major European routes — from Spain and France to Greece and the UK — all tested and curated by its team of experts to ensure accessibility, safety, and environmental responsibility.
