Dettaglio offerta

You will cycle along cycle paths, low-traffic roads surrounded by greenery and the route of the former Spoleto-Norcia railway, in the stretch that goes from Spoleto to Sant’Anatolia di Narco, the one with the most viaducts and tunnels.

The itinerary develops in the heart of Umbria, between secondary roads in asphalt with low traffic, cycle paths and dirt paths. The region is hilly, so along the way you will find several ups and downs, even if there will be some stretches of plain. The most significant climbs, almost always with non-significant slopes, are those that lead to Assisi and Montefalco, the first part of the former Spoleto-Norcia railway and the Forca di Arrone pass.

Overall, the itinerary can be considered medium-easy and a person in good health and active will be able to tackle it without difficulty, also because the daily mileage never exceeds 35 km. However, it would be ideal to train in the period before the holiday, especially to get used to being in the saddle for several hours and avoid pain and aches.
