Sandwiched between Rome and Florence yet remarkably unspoilt, Umbria is Italy's only landlocked region and one of its most rewarding walking destinations. Known as the Green Heart of Italy, it combines rolling hills rising to the Apennines and Sibillini mountains with ancient villages, Roman and Etruscan ruins, UNESCO World Heritage towns, dense woodland, and nature reserves across six distinct walking areas.
40 day walks ranging from 3 to 19km (2 to 12 miles) and taking 1 to 5 hours are described in this second edition guidebook by expert author Gillian Price. It pairs clear route descriptions with detailed information on accommodation, public transport, and facilities to help you explore the Green Heart of Italy with confidence.
- The 40 walks are graded 1 to 3 and organised across six areas covering Alta Val Tiberina and Gubbio, Lago Trasimeno and its islands, Orvieto and Todi, Assisi and Monte Subasio, Spoleto and the Valnerina, and Norcia and the Sibillini
- Sketch maps are included for every walk alongside detailed information on accommodation, public transport, and facilities, with notes on culinary delights helping you make the most of Umbrian food and drink
- Highlights include Assisi, glorious Orvieto and its medieval aqueduct, Lago Trasimeno and the islands of Isola Maggiore and Isola Polvese, the Piano Grande di Castelluccio, Monte Cucco, and the wonderful Valnerina
- Background sections cover Umbria's history, plants, flowers, and wildlife, giving rich context for the Roman and Etruscan ruins, medieval hilltowns, and dense woodland you encounter on the trail
- Bases include Perugia, Assisi, Gubbio, Norcia, Spoleto, Orvieto, and Passignano sul Trasimeno, with the region sitting conveniently between Rome and Florence for easy access
With walks spanning UNESCO hilltowns, crater lakes, Roman ruins, and the high Sibillini peaks, this second edition guidebook captures the full variety of walking in Umbria in a single volume. Discover the very best of the region from hiking expert Gillian Price.
