Cross Country – Mountain bike in Umbria

Back to the exploration

Cross Country – Mountain bike in Umbria

Mountain bike in Umbria. Get ready to pedal hard and keep your eyes on the peaks, without ever lowering the head

This route, suitable for those with a minimum of training, will enable you to discover places with your mountain bike that are largely off the beaten track and therefore not often seen by tourists visiting Umbria.

We will start from Montefalco and head towards the Martani mountain range, keeping our eyes focused steadfastly ahead. We’ll cross magnificent countryside, cut across expanses of vineyards and olive groves on small roads and dirt tracks. We’ll push on and go uphill, also cheered on by the  locals, who are always warm and welcoming to visitors. Our goal is Giano dell’Umbria, which will spring up surprisingly ahead of us, with its imposing walls and its ancient but lively historic centre.

The road will have quite a few surprises in store, such as hidden castles and immense treasures of nature. Our guide will enable you to experience this adventure to the full, explain what you’ll see and tell you stories and anecdotes about these areas.

You’ll have just enough time to rest a bit, have something to eat and then jump back on your bike and head back down to Montefalco, to close this magnificent circular route.
