E-Bike – The Great Loop of Assisi: Grand Tour
Let yourself be enchanted by the magic of Assisi on a one-of-a-kind e-bike tour, designed to let you experience the full legacy of St Francis in just 3 hours.
Thanks to our modern pedal-assisted bikes, you’ll tackle the climbs up Mount Subasio with ease.
The route begins with an exploration of the Bosco di San Francesco, a FAI-protected oasis of unspoilt tranquillity, before climbing up to the majestic Basilica of St Francis.
We’ll pass through the medieval heart of the town, admiring the Cathedral of St Rufino and the Basilica of St Clare.
The highlight of the tour will be the climb to the Hermitage of the Carceri, at an altitude of 800 metres – a mystical place suspended between heaven and earth.
After taking in the breathtaking views, we’ll head down towards San Damiano and round off the tour in the valley by visiting the Sanctuary of Rivotorto and the Porziuncola.
A perfect loop combining spirituality, sport and unforgettable Umbrian views!
