Via Francigena Oct / Nov 2017. Day 6: Borgo Franco d’Ivrea to Ivrea.

Caught the bus back to where we finished walking yesterday, at Borgo Franco d’Ivrea. The weather remains perfect.  Followed the path up through the hills towards the castle Montalto Dora.  The VF signs direct you around lake Pistono, even though the guide reports this is an alternative route.  This is fine for us today – not like we have far to go.   We enjoy a leisurely pace, without packs, around the lake then back towards Ivrea.

Once back in Ivrea we wander the streets, past the castle, the Duomo, the river, and the pedestrian centre with Piazzas.  About 9 kms.
