Umbria based in one hotel 7-days

Italy's most breath-taking landscapes!

Are you yet to travel to Umbria? If so, you are missing out for sure! Just like in Tuscany, Umbria's better-known neighbor, sunflowers grow wonderfully yellow, olive groves shine a gentle silver color, the grapevines are bright green and the medieval towns reign up on the hilltops. The main difference between Umbria and Tuscany is that Umbria is much more quiet, traditional and charming. Enjoy the many cultural and scenic highlights on this bike tour based in one hotel. Even the cuisine is exquisite in this region of Italy. Top quality wine and olive oil are produced here, the chocolate from Perugia is world famous and even truffles can be found in the Umbrian hills. This tour is sure to provide you with an unforgettable cycle holiday!

Highlights:

• Taste Umbria’s top wines: On the fourth day you can enjoy a wine tasking with a typical Umbrian lunch (included) at the well-known Chiorri vineyard.
• Travelling by train: The two train journeys from Montefalco and Todi bring even more variety into cycling holidays!

Important information:

The starting point of the day trips in Umbria is the picturesque San Martino in Campo near Perugia. During the following days of your cycle tour, you will cover between 40 and 60km every day, which are easy to master with good basic fitness. A good level of fitness is useful on the climbs to Trasimeno Lake and Todi. Otherwise, the route through the unique landscape of Umbria is usually flat and on low-traffic side roads.

Tour Character: Level 3

On the stages to Lake Trasimeno and to Todi there are several longer ascents. All of the other day rides are predominantly flat or only have very small ascents. You cycle on wonderful, quiet side roads. Occasionally you cycle on good quality tracks. You only have to cycle on slightly busier roads on short connecting sections.
