Enduro – On the hills around lake Trasimeno

Enduro – On the hills around lake Trasimeno

Gentle hills but hard-core adrenalin on trails around Lake Trasimeno

Lake Trasimeno is one of the most picturesque areas in Umbria and you can admire it by going up the surrounding hills and enjoying it to the full from a panoramic point of view. Everything is even more tantalising if the area around Passignano sul Trasimeno offers adrenaline-charged downhill trails to suit all tastes, from beat-up technical trails to fast flow with jumps and breath-taking views. The slopes that wind around the shores of the Lake come down on two sides, where short but steep climbs make it possible to go back up and then plunge downhill again on some of the most spectacular trails in Umbria. The route we propose is moderate-high in difficulty and is a circular route that will start and end at Passignano sul Trasimeno, one of the villages on the shores of the Lake; the road winds through the Umbrian countryside for a total of 16 km and a total altitude difference of 850 metres. What are you waiting for? Come and try it!
