Cross Country – Giano by MTB

The is a route in search of a part of a little-known Umbrian valley, the one around Giano dell’Umbria. The route is about 25 km long and is moderately difficult, with a fairly significant 740 metre gain in altitude and therefore it’s not suitable for those who are not fit or don’t have considerable experience of arduous cycling. The departure and arrival points are in Giano dell’Umbria. From here, we will cycle towards the hills that surround it, pedalling in a placidly silent atmosphere. Along the way you’ll be surprised as you come across the abbeys, shrines and castles that are dotted along the way. Come and discover this little-known part of Umbria that is still no less beautiful and fascinating than the rest of the region. Our professional guides are expecting you, book now!
