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.

Feliciano, from where the boats leave for Polvese Island.

Day 5

Passignano to Umbertide / +47km - +855m

Today's route runs through an 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. It is a hilly ride with gorgeous views. After a climb, you reach Castel Rigone, looking out over the lake. Then a nice ride follows along a ridge with nice views on both sides.
