Overview

A six day, self-guided cycling holiday, by e-bike, along ancient trails in both Umbria and Lazio, starting and finishing in the ancient hilltop town of Orvieto, a stunning halfway point between Florence and Rome, and a quick train journey from both. If you love to combine history with your adventure, cycling in Umbria is a treat. Ancient architectural highlights include the exquisite Etruscan city of Civita di Bagnoregio, the Necropolis of Pianezze and the Renaissance Rocca Farnese. Geologists also fawn over the vast waters of Lake Bolsena, which is actually a crater formed by the Vulsini volcano, which erupted in Roman times.
