Welcome to Assisi, one of Italy’s most treasured hill towns and the birthplace of St. Francis. With its pink-stone churches, Roman ruins, and flower-lined lanes, Assisi offers a peaceful introduction to the Umbrian landscape and spirit. After check-in, take time to explore the town’s historic center or enjoy a quiet meal with views over the surrounding hills.
Your first walking day leads through rolling hills covered in olive trees and cypress. Following quiet trails and rural lanes, you’ll make your way to Spello, an atmospheric village with Roman arches, medieval charm, and famously flower-filled balconies.
The route today leaves the hills behind and brings you across the open plains of the Valle Umbra. The landscape shifts to farmland and fields, with a peaceful walk into Bevagna, a town with Roman roots and a relaxed, authentic atmosphere. Don’t miss its main square or the preserved Roman theater.
A gentle day through the countryside takes you toward Trevi, a beautiful hill town perched above olive groves and winding roads. As you approach, the town slowly rises into view, offering classic Umbrian views and a quiet historic center to explore in the evening.
Your final walking stage leads along sections of the ancient Via Flaminia, through shaded forest paths and open hillscapes. Arriving in Spoleto, you’ll find a wealth of history, from Roman theaters to Renaissance palaces. Be sure to visit the iconic Ponte delle Torri or the stunning cathedral before settling in for your last night.
After breakfast, your walking holiday comes to an end. Leave Umbria with memories of quiet trails, sunlit hills, and beautiful towns, the essence of a truly authentic walking tour in Italy. Transfers to nearby airports or train stations can be arranged upon request
