Cross Country – The landscapes of Valle Umbra

Back to the exploration

Cross Country – The landscapes of Valle Umbra

A tour through countryside and vineyards, with gentle plains and rugged climbs

On this tour, we’ll be staying in the area around Valle Umbra. We will start on the part of the plain that divides the town of Cannara from the magnificent village of Bevagna. You’ll be able to admire the endless countryside stretched out all around you and scan the hills as they rise before your eyes. You’ll see them approaching slowly, but don’t get too attached: you’ll soon find out how tough they are and how they’ll put you to the test. We’ll cycle up to Montefalco where in some places you’ll need to put in a good deal more peddle power than usual!

The breath-taking views, endless crop plantations and infinite greenery all around you will fill you with gladness as our guide helps you discover these places to the full. Your reward will be the magnificent vistas that will light up your eyes as you catch your breath and prepare for the descent and the return trip to the starting point.
