Tuscany – Umbria – Latium
Travelling across the countryside by bike in Italy means mostly travelling while the sun is shining. As the tour leads you through the ‘green heart’ of Italy, a really good atmosphere is guaranteed. This tour, from Florence to Rome shows the country from another side: calm, mystical and sometimes unexplored. During the approx. 290 km you will see cities like Assisi, Perugia, Spoleto or Narni, displaying an incredible wealth of art treasures, which take their visitors back to the Middle Ages. Because the shapes of the cities have hardly been changed, the landscape appears harmonious and inviting. On mostly lonely roads the tour leads through the valleys of the Apennines and through the softly curved hills of the Trasimeno Lake. Raging torrents, fascinating ravines and the roaming flocks of sheep shape this part of Italy. You can reconnoitre this terrain by bike. Then you smell the sweet odours, rest in taverns and fortify yourself for the next stages. At the end, the Eternal City of Rome awaits you. There, you should put aside your bike and enjoy its vitality by having a cappuccino or a glass of red wine. You will never forget the previous stages through the small and secluded villages in Umbrian. The experience will become alive once again in your memory and you will promise to yourself that you will go on another biking tour through Tuscany and Umbria.

The stages from Florence to Assisi are mostly flat; then hilly. Nearly just on small roads, country lanes and little used side streets. Only some very short sections are on normally used streets. There are fascinating stages along the bank of the Trasimeno Lake, along rivers and through the untainted nature of Umbrian.
