The Non Valley seen through the eyes of a pilgrim of old.
The "Jacobean Path of Anaunia", born from an idea by Paolo Menapace and developed by the Anaune Association of Friends of the Camino de Santiago, offers the opportunity to discover the great heritage of a valley rich in history and traditions, roads and paths traveled by merchants, armies, and pilgrims to reach rich markets or imperial borders or, with devotion, sacred places, and to invoke grace and forgiveness.
The "Jacobean Path of Anaunia" connects various places with a walking route to be done, backpack on, in the style of a "pilgrim". The route, which ideally starts and ends in the village of Sanzeno, religious capital of the Valley, develops in stages about 170 km long and in eight days.
Noting the number of testimonies of devotion to St. James the Greater in the Non Valley, it was decided to revive the ancient tradition of pilgrimage in a series of stages covering the valley roads following the footsteps of the ancient walkers.
Those who want to walk the Jacobean Path of Anaunia have the opportunity to receive the pilgrim’s credential.
The Credential is a travel document that always accompanies the pilgrim, certifies their identity, condition, and intentions. It serves to distinguish a true pilgrim from any other traveler.
The Anaune Association Friends of the Camino de Santiago (AACS) has prepared its version; please use it responsibly and correctly, trying to maintain the meaning and spirit of the Jacobean Path of Anaunia.
To request the Credential write to APT Val di Non: info@visitvaldinon.it, it will be sent to your home free of charge.
