Age-old villages between Todi and the Martani mountain range

This tour starts and finishes in Todi and takes a route that crosses the area’s lush green hills, set magnificently between the Tiber Valley and the Martani Mountains. The route is moderately difficult, with several climbs and descents, but without slopes that are too demanding, except for those leading to Todi and to Collazzone. The departure point is the Church of Santa Maria della Consolazione, located just outside the historic centre of Todi and, after cycling round the perimeter of the town for about 3 km, we will continue towards Monte Castello di Vibio. This typical medieval village nestled on the top of a hill hosts, among other things, a theatre called Teatro della Concordia, which has the distinction of being the smallest opera house in the world with only 99 seats. Afterwards, we’ll proceed to Collazzone and here, after a fairly demanding climb through woods, oaks and olive groves, we will stop to enjoy the magnificent views of the Tiber Valley and the Martani Mountains. We’ll then leave for Todi but first pass through two fascinating medieval hamlets and villages along our route, San Terenziano and Frontignano, which have skilfully preserved their original appearance despite the ravages of time. Once you arrive in Todi, we would recommend taking a tour of the historic centre of this extraordinary town with one of our expert guides: the town boasts one of the richest cultural and artistic heritages in all of Umbria. Book now, you won’t be disappointed!
