Umbria Cycling Tour

Tour Details

Welcome to Hooked on Cycling Holidays and our cycling holiday in Umbria. This biking vacation in Umbria is available as a level 2-3 self-guided cycle tour. In this unspoiled part of Umbria, there’s an almost spiritual, timeless atmosphere. Small churches, hermitages and chapels mark the ancient pilgrim routes. Summers are long and the mountain air is clean and crisp. Not only the landscape is worthwhile enjoying, on this tour you will find time to taste the traditional Umbrian food, especially flavoured with the ‘tartufo nero’ that is found in the hills of the Valnerina and of course the excellent red Montefalco wines. We have designed this tour to provide a short day and a longer cycle option, the region is pretty hilly so all days will have a degree of climbing involved but you will be rewarded with wonderful views.

The very picturesque town of Spello is the ideal location for a lunch stop on this route.

This was my third Hooked on Cycling tour in Italy and they have all been excellent: well-chosen central hotels, good bikes, clear directions.  I’m sure we’ll be back again for 2020! (Sep 2019)
