Summary

Umbria is one of Italy's secrets. Hills covered with silver-green olive groves and vineyards, medieval villages and quaint hilltop towns and a distinct absence of tourists make this a perfect location for a cycling holiday.

Cycling along quiet country roads, this gentle tour leads you through the green valley 'Valle Umbra' to places such as Assisi, Spello, Foligno, Spoleto, Bevagna and Perugia. The route is designed to give you time to enjoy this beautiful landscape.

This is the Discover Umbria tour extended by 2 nights. An overnight stay near Spoleto situated on a sunny hillside with its ancient town centre, mostly surrounded by the old town walls. The second extra night is based at Lake Trasimeno where you can take a rest day or cycle around the lake passing the little towns like Passignano e Castiglione del Lago. Also worthwhile is a visit to one of the islands by boat.
