Self-guided bike Trip Umbria on Road bike, E-bike, or Trekking bike.

This cycling Tour is perfect for those looking to personally experience the unique and unspoiled region of Umbria with its beauty and hospitality. Umbria, nestling between Tuscany, Marche, and Lazio, is maybe one of the smallest regions of Italy, but it has a wide range of different landscapes: from harsh gorges to sweet green hills, wild woods to fertile plains transformed by varied cultivations; oases of fresh, crystal clear spring water and enchanting lakes. This cycle tour combines the beauty of nature with sightseeing in quiet little medieval towns.

The trip starts and finishes in the surroundings of the beautiful and fascinating town of Assisi, the pilgrims’ town built against the slopes of Mount Subasio.
Assisi isn’t the only highlight of this tour. You will pass many other interesting small towns such as Spello, which has Roman origins,

Two nights you will spend in Torgiano allowing time to visit the county-town of Perugia. Its magnificent old town center is certainly worth visiting, with Renaissance palaces, medieval churches, museums, and galleries,

During the second part of the tour, you bike through beautiful unspoiled scenery. The biker-friendly roads, the lovely towns, and the green hills with cypresses, vineyards, and olive trees make this tour unforgettable.

Day 1
Check in
Check-in around 14.00 at your charming hotel. There will be a briefing, and bike fitting and the tour organizer explains the coming itinerary of this tour. The start of this cycle tour is in the lovely medieval town of Assisi, the popular pilgrimage town built on the slopes of Monte Subasio. Its impressive ramparts, towers, and palace roofs of the town are visible from afar. Assisi has a strong unbreakable bond with the saints Francis and Clare. On the day of your arrival, you might want to explore the town with its little alleys and squares. Worth seeing is the famous Basilica of St. Francis and the Roman temple of Minerva in Piazza del Comune. Your overnight stay is in a hotel between Assisi and Spello, another beautiful fortified town with old town gates and an amphitheater (on request a hotel in Assisi is possible)
Day 2
Spello-Montefalco-Bevagna-Torgiano 68 km
This morning there will be time to wander about in Spello. After continuing your journey through the valley of Spoleto, passing Foligno, your route goes up to Montefalco; also called ‘the balcony of Umbria’, because of its fantastic panorama. The Franciscan church, now a museum, is decorated with magnificent frescoes from the 15th and 16th centuries by artists like Benozzo Gozzoli and Perugino. The next town you will visit is Bevagna, whose characteristic medieval square still hosts two Romanesque churches. Your overnight stay is in Torgiano, which in medieval times was a fortified village and is situated on a hilltop above the confluence of the rivers Chiascio and Tiber. Interesting to visit are the wine museum and the ‘osteria’ of the Lungarotti family, where you can taste their excellent wines.
Day 3
Visiting Perugia 35 km
Today you can visit the neighboring city of Perugia: the provincial capital and a lively, vibrant place. The medieval town center with its little alleyways is at the highest point of the town.

Day 4
Torgiano to lake Trasimeno 53 km
On the fourth day, you will bike through a hilly landscape to be rewarded with a magnificent view of the lake and its islands. Your hotel is in the center of the little fishing village of Passignano, a town made of history and nature, art and folklore, peace, and vitality.

Lake to Umbertide 46 km
Today’s bike is through unspoiled scenery to the quiet little town of Umbertide, whose town center is dominated by a majestic tower, the remains of a castle dating back to 1385. There will be some uphill and downhill cycling. Your hotel is a lovely country hotel just outside town.
Day 6
Umbertide to Gubbio 55 km
Today you will reach the fortified hill town of Gubbio, which preserved well its medieval character.

Your overnight stay will be near the historical center.
Day 7
Gubbio to Assisi 54 km
At the beginning of this last leg of the tour you still have some hard climbing to do, through a rolling still-life landscape, but after that, you have a well-deserved easy descent to Assisi.
