Amidst the rolling green hills of Umbria, you'll encounter impeccably preserved medieval treasures such as Montefalco, celebrated for its wines, Assisi, graced by Saint Francis, and the lively "Art City" of Perugia. Cycling through the Tiber Valley and Umbrian hills reveals a landscape rich with olive groves, golden wheat fields, and breathtaking vistas. Indulge in the finest Italian cuisine, where truffles are the star, and savor the region's exceptional local wines.

While the broad valley between Assisi and Spoleto offers a rare stretch of flat terrain, the ancient villages you visit are perched atop hills. The cycling routes include longer, gradual climbs on the first and last days, while the other days feature shorter but occasionally steep ascents, some with gradients of up to 10%. A few sections traverse unpaved roads. This adventure requires a basic level of fitness, with just one climb per day and shorter rides (25 to 30km daily), leaving plenty of time for immersive sightseeing experiences.
