Purched above the green, in turn yellow hills of Umbria, you will find charmingly preserved medieval towns such as Montefalco famouse for its wines, Assisi domincated by Saint Frances and the "Art city" of Perugia. Cycling through the Tiber valley and the Umbrian hills means, olive groves and wheat fields, good wine, great views and great Italian food where Truffles are king.

 

The broad valley that lies between Perugia, Assisi and Spoleto is one of the few flat areas in the region, however all the ancient villages you stay at are on top of a hill. On the first and last ride there are longer and more gradual climbs, the other days the climbs are shorter, but occasionally very steep, upto 15% grading. A few sections are on unpaved roads.

This trip requires a basic physical condition as it mostly involving only one climb a day and the rides are short (25 to 30km a dat) leaving you plenty of time for great sightseeing.

E-bikes are available on this trip making the climbs a lot easier.
