The National Urban Trekking Day is celebrated every year on the 31st of October. It is a nationwide initiative aimed at raising awareness among citizens and visitors about the importance of sustainable and accessible tourism. During this day, participating cities offer thematic walking routes that guide participants in discovering the historical, artistic, and landscape heritage of urban areas.
The meeting point in Conegliano is on Saturday, October 31, 2026, at 3:00 p.m. for a walking route in the city "In the Footsteps of St. Francis".
Starting from the location of the IAT Office of Conegliano at Viale Carducci 20, the route will wind through the streets of the historic center until reaching the summit of Colle di Giano.
On the occasion of the 8th centenary of St. Francis of Assisi's death, this year while retracing the streets of the city, we will seek out the evocative places of the Franciscan presence in Conegliano: the site where the convent of the Poor Clares once stood, what remains of the convent of the Zoccolanti friars, the convent of the Conventual Franciscans, the various locations where the community of Capuchin friars was established, as well as the artworks representing St. Francis of Assisi, created by prominent painters such as Cima da Conegliano and Francesco Beccaruzzi.
The trekking will conclude with a toast in the garden of the Castle.
Reservation is mandatory until spots are filled. A participation fee will be requested.
