7 Days

Overview

Rate is per person in a double room
In collaboration with Umbria & Bike

A week of travel to discover some of the most beautiful places in Umbria by bicycle, from the center of Perugia to Lake Piediluco. You will cycle along cycle paths, low-traffic roads surrounded by greenery and the route of the former Spoleto-Norcia railway, in the stretch that goes from Spoleto to Sant’Anatolia di Narco, the one with the most viaducts and tunnels.

The itinerary develops in the heart of Umbria, between secondary roads in asphalt with low traffic, cycle paths and dirt paths. The region is hilly, so along the way you will find several ups and downs, even if there will be some stretches of plain. The most significant climbs, almost always with non-significant slopes, are those that lead to Assisi and Montefalco, the first part of the former Spoleto-Norcia railway and the Forca di Arrone pass.
