THE EXPERIENCE

Cycling through lakeside scenery, villages and countryside

A circular cycling route through lakeside landscapes, villages and countryside.

Cycling lets you experience the Lake Trasimeno landscape at a different pace. Plan a ride along the shore and combine time on the bike with stops in the villages. The cycling route includes paved and unpaved sections, with some links on roads open to traffic: it is not an entirely protected cycle path. Check the latest official route information to choose an access point, distance and bike suited to your ride.
