Extend your stay
If you are flying via Rome, add on a city break for a real contrast to your walk and the chance to discover its many treasures and special atmosphere.
  • self-guided hotel-to-hotel walking, luggage transported
  • little-known mountains and lush countryside
  • Romanesque churches and abbeys
  • earthy Umbrian cuisine

Rugged, wild, incredibly varied and beautiful, Umbria, where pretty valleys descend from the high mountain pastures and peaks of the Sibillini Mountains, is known as Italy’s ‘green heart’. From the dazzling medieval hill-top town of Spoleto, this hugely rewarding and fascinating walk leads you through the warm, wooded valley of the Valnerina, up into the dramatic Monti Sibillini National Park. There is a timeless and spiritual quality to Umbria, so unspoiled and wild, with Romanesque churches, secret hermitages and wayside chapels dotted along the ancient trails.

The train ride from Rome to Spoleto is not long, but long enough to enter a different world. Leafy hills and sleepy hamlets, with glimpses of brooding mountains beyond. It feels like walkers' country, and it is.
     
Staff travel diary
Summers are long, but the mountain air i s fresh, and the green meadows are filled with spectacular flowers in May and June. You have plenty of opportunities to enjoy the earthy Umbrian cuisine, famed for its use of black truffles, and the robust reds of Torgiano and Montefalco. The Spoleto arts festival takes place from late June to mid-July; please book early for this period.
