The credential is the personal travel document that will accompany you along the way. Inside the blank boxes, you can affix the stamps corresponding to the places where you have passed through, as a trace of your passage. At some significant points, unmanned by offices or shops – such as the Gleno Dam – you will find the stamps inside special little wooden houses – made free of charge by the volunteers of “I geppetti” group of Colere – identifiable by the logo of La Via Decia. Affix the stamp and put it back in its place, for those who will come after you.

The credentials can be purchased via the website, by filling in the fields indicated You will receive an e-mail with payment instructions, which will be followed by shipment to your home.

Alternatively, you can purchase your document directly from Valle di Scalve tourist offices (Colere, Vilminore, Schilpario), again at the price of € 5.00. Among other things, the credential will allow you to benefit from certain discounts at participating establishments (see Hospitality page).

Finally, by proving with the same credential that you have walked at least four stages, you can receive the Testimonium of La Via Decia.
