Spain
From Galicia to the Pyrenees, Spain forms the emotional foundation as well as the solemn start and finish of this journey.
France
From the Pyrenees to Mont-Saint-Michel: a route that demands physical endurance and awakens a deep spirituality for our children's mission.
Belgium
Through medieval alleys and the green hills of Wallonia, the path leads to the heart of Europe to carry a strong message.
Netherlands
Under vast skies and along endless canals, the mission moves forward with every step toward Cologne.
Germany
Cologne is the symbolic heart of the tour, while Constance, on Lake Constance, opens the historic gateway to the Alps.
Switzerland
On the shores of Lake Constance, Switzerland links Germany and Austria, inviting a welcome pause along the way.
Austria
Steep peaks and warm hospitality mark this alpine leg, again testing the discipline gained at the North Cape.
Italy
From the arena of Verona to Tuscany, Italy combines ancient history with human warmth, driving this mission forward.
Vatican City
On the smallest territory in the world, our voice reaches the whole planet as we place the rights of the most vulnerable at the center, in front of St. Peter's Basilica.
Monaco
In the Principality of Monaco, endurance meets ambition, drawing attention on one of the most exclusive stages in the world.
