I CINQUE COLLI

The route is named after the symbol of the city of Gubbio, with the 5 hills representing the five hills behind the city. We start the ascent near the locality of Padule, which is immediately challenging but becomes easier after 2 km when we reach the paved road. This section is very scenic, and once we exit the vegetation, we find Monte Cucco and its valley to our right. Continuing, we reach the summit of Monte Ingino, where the wonder of the Basilica necessitates a stop to visit the place where the patron saint of Gubbio, St. Ubaldo, is located. The view over the city and the entire Eugubine plain is unique. Proceeding further, we cross two more hills with a steep ascent and, upon reaching the locality of Mocaiana, re-enter the city with a slight uphill.

LA PIANA EUGUBINA

Terrain: ASPHALT 50%, DIRT ROAD 50%

PEDALANDO VERSO SUD SULLA VIA DI FRANCESCO

Sharing a short section of the Franciscan route with the many pilgrims traveling from Gubbio to Assisi, we start from the Vittorina church. After about 4 km, we reach the Ponte d’Assi area. Following the Mocaiana sign for about 800 meters and then turning left, the path becomes dirt, first on flat ground, then slightly uphill amidst olive groves and reforested areas of walnuts and cherries. We pass a green barrier and reach the summit. Here, the oak forest offers pleasant shade. Descending towards one of the lakes inside the Fassia Estate, artificial lakes built for irrigation, we climb again, keeping Gubbio to the left, returning to the asphalt road at a fast pace. We turn right and cross another hill, reaching the Colonnata area. The view here is fantastic; we are on the road leading to Perugia. We descend towards Gubbio and return, covering a section of the old Branca-Gubbio railway.

Difficulty: EASY
Terrain: ASPHALT 50%, DIRT ROAD 50%

DAL SOLE AL CASTELLO

The route winds through local crops for the first kilometers and then becomes completely flat. Heading east from the city, we reach the Torre dei Calzolari area, passing through dense woods and touching the Colmollaro Castle, a fief of the Raffaelli family, a marvel of our history. From here, we continue, passing through Branca, climbing along a dirt road until we reach a village with the Branca Castle. The route no longer has steep ascents, but continuous ups and downs make the return journey not too easy.

Difficulty: EASY
Terrain: ASPHALT 50%, DIRT ROAD 50%

TRA LE COLLINE EUGUBINE

Starting from the Vittorina church, a place of religious importance where St. Francis met and calmed the Wolf of Gubbio, we head south, crossing the main road. A few kilometers of asphalt, and the route becomes a dirt road. A small ascent allows us to admire a wonderful panorama of the Eugubian plain. We have reached the small hamlet of Monteluiano. From here, we climb on asphalt and then turn right. A series of ups and downs offer a unique view of the entire Eugubian valley. After a few kilometers, we descend and reach the Nerbisci hamlet. The return to the city is simple with a slight ascent. Passing through small villages, we return to the Stone City where the medieval era shines in all its facets.

Difficulty: MODERATE
Terrain: ASPHALT 50%, DIRT ROAD 50%

DA GUBBIO VERSO LA VALTIBERINA

A challenging route that unfolds entirely in the territory south of Gubbio. After an initial stretch on asphalt and a slight descent, we leave the plain to start the ascent on the hills bordering the Tiber Valley. Gubbio on our right and Mount Tezio on the left offer wonderful panoramic viewpoints. We descend quickly towards the westernmost point of the municipality of Gubbio, the Camporeggiano area (road leading to the Tiber Valley). There isn’t a single meter of flat terrain; it’s immediately uphill, returning towards the city of Gubbio.

Difficulty: MODERATE
Terrain: ASPHALT 40%, DIRT ROAD 60%

                                SECOND DAY

                                After breakfast, when the weather is good the day will be totally dedicated to an active outdoor experience. For example, a section of the route of the Vecchia Ferrovia Spoleto – Norcia can be done by bike. The railway was inaugurated in 1926 and, for the time, represented a real engineering masterpiece in just over 50 kilometres, including helical tunnels and the daring bridge over the Cortaccione stream. The railway was closed in 1968 and, after many years of inactivity, in July 2014 the current cycle/pedestrian path was inaugurated on the route of the old railway, which can now be traveled up to Piedipaterno.

In particular, we suggest the Pozzo di San Patrizio, a real masterpiece of Renaissance engineering. It was built in the 16th century to guarantee citizens water at any time of the year, especially in the event of a disaster or a prolonged siege. You can reach the bottom of the Well through a long spiral staircase of 248 steps, while to go up again you will have to use a second ramp.
