Short Description

Cycle a loop through Umbria from Assisi on this 7-day self-guided gravel tour. Gravel roads, olive-clad hills and the Assisi–Spoleto cycleway lead you to Bevagna, Spoleto, Todi and the shores of Lake Trasimeno.

Tour Program

Day 1: Assisi – Bevagna (39 km; +220 m)
Please note: Day 1 is already a riding day. There is no arrival night before the first stage, so plan to reach Assisi in the morning.
You will arrive in Assisi in the morning and set off straight away. An easy first stage takes you down into the green Umbrian plain past the Basilica of Santa Maria degli Angeli, then towards Cannara between cultivated fields and riverbanks along the Assisi–Spoleto cycleway, until you reach the medieval village of Bevagna. Overnight in Bevagna.

Day 2: Bevagna – Spoleto (45 km; +380 m)
You will ride through the heart of the Valle Umbra, among olive groves and historic villages, on the protected cycle path that runs at the foot of the mountains. A scenic detour leads to Montefalco, with a short climb for those who want it, before you pass Trevi and reach Spoleto, watched over by the Rocca Albornoziana and the Ponte delle Torri.

Day 3: Spoleto – Todi (50 km; +780 m)
A rolling stage into the Media Valle del Tevere: small rural villages, woods and wide views over cultivated valleys. Gravel roads and short climbs lead to the final ascent to Todi, with its Piazza del Popolo and the Tempio della Consolazione. This is a moderate to challenging day.

Day 4: Todi – Deruta – Marsciano (40 km; +450 m)
You will follow the gentle hills along the Tevere to Deruta, known for its hand-painted ceramics, with time to stroll past the artisan workshops. Then gravel roads and farm tracks carry you through vineyards and isolated farmhouses to the Marsciano area.

Day 5: Marsciano – Lake Trasimeno (55 km; +320 m)
Heading west, country gravel opens onto the water. You will ride a stretch of the Trasimeno cycleway and reach the lakeside, spending the night at Castiglione del Lago or Passignano.

Day 6: Lake Trasimeno – Monte Subasio – Assisi (55 km; +950 m)
The final stage crosses the plain of Bastia Umbra before the climb on the gravel tracks of the Monte Subasio Park. The effort is rewarded with views over the whole Valle Umbra, and you will close the loop back in Assisi. This is the most challenging day of the tour.

Day 7: Departure
After breakfast, check-out and end of services.
