Umbria

Get to know Tuscany’s quiet neighbor – Umbria.

Cycling reaches new levels as you experience this mystical land touched with soft colors and a sweet spirit. Bike through groves of silvery-green olive trees and along powdery shades of earth woven into a patchwork landscape. Umbria is the birth place of three major monastic orders: the Franciscans, the Clarisse, and the Benedictines. What better way to feel the peaceful and serene spirit of Umbria than cycling – and getting in touch with your own spirit.

Cut from major communication routes for centuries, Umbria has kept its traditions of pottery and weaving. The pottery is colourful and elaborately painted using techniques and patterns developed back to 800BC. Find these treasures and more in charming villages with cobbled alleys. Places where few tourists explore. Choose from one of our quiet cycling tours geared to different levels and see what you discover.
