Your Meeting Point will be Rome’s Termini Station at 1.45pm. Here you will meet the rest of the group and your guide who will be with you for the duration of this fascinating journey!
After about 2 hours by train, we arrive in Foligno, where a shuttle is waiting to take us to the selected Bike Hotel.
In the afternoon there will be a briefing with the local guide who will explain the itinerary program and the functionality of the e-bikes.
The E-bike tour of the Umbrian Valley involves cycling in the Foligno mountain area, characterized by large forests of centenary holm oaks and colorful beech groves, as well as abbeys and
small villages crossed by rivers.
Along the way we will have the pleasure of seeing the Sassovivo Abbey, an ancient Benedictine monastery that stands in a centuries-old holm oak forest. We will then reach Rasiglia, a medieval village lost in time, characterized by the enchanting waterways that cross it and which enhanced the artisanal productivity of the past. Returning towards Foligno you come across Pale, a medieval village famous for the production of paper, full of suggestive places such as the hermitage, the Abbadessa caves and the waterfalls of the Menotre river.
Once you arrive at Sasso di Pale, a spectacular rock face that dominates the Menotre valley, enjoy the view of Lake Corbara and Monte Peglia.
Return to the hotel if necessary for a shower and return to Rome by train in the evening.
