An itinerary along the Via di Francesco in the northern section that you can cover with your bicycle or with our assistance with a rental bike.

1st day

ASSISI – SANCTUARY OF VERNA – SANSEPOLCRO (about 35 km)

Arriving in Assisi in the morning, leave the car and move by private van to the Sanctuary of La Verna, from where the first stage by bicycle begins. You can visit the suggestive sanctuary, nestled in the woods, before setting off on your bike. You will cross Pieve Santo Stefano, before skirting the lake of Montedoglio and then arriving in Sansepolcro. Dinner and overnight stay in a structure in San Sepolcro

2nd day

SANSEPOLCRO-CITY OF CASTELLO (30 KM)

You will leave Sansepolcro behind to cycle through the countryside between Tuscany and Umbria. The only climb of the day is the one, quite steep, which will lead you to the village of Citerna. From here continue towards Città di Castello, making the most of the dirt cycle path that runs along the Tiber river. Dinner and overnight stay in a structure in Città di Castello

3rd day

CITY OF CASTELLO-PIETRALUNGA (30 KM)

One of the most demanding stages of the entire Northern route, with two climbs to overcome. The first is long and regular, immersed in the woods, which alternating dirt and asphalt will lead you to Pieve de’ Saddi. The second is shorter, but steep, just before reaching Pietralunga, a small village surrounded by greenery, ideal for relaxing and resting. Dinner and overnight stay in a structure in Pietralunga

4th day

PIETRALUNGA-GUBBIO (24 KM)

Leaving behind Pietralunga, you will cycle on roads immersed in the green of the Umbrian nature, almost completely free of traffic. Also in this stage you will have to face two climbs, but not too demanding. The last kilometers before arriving in the heart of Gubbio will be completely flat. Dinner and overnight stay in Gubbio

5° day

GUBBIO-VALFABBRICA (33 KM)

In the morning sightseeing tour of the city with the Gubbio Express. Another stage that flows through the nature of the Umbrian Apennines and which will bring you significantly closer to Assisi. Along the way you will have to face two climbs, which will give you wonderful views of the surrounding valleys before arriving in the small historic village of Valfabbrica. Dinner and overnight stay in a structure in Valfabbrica

6th day

VALFABBRICA-ASSISI (22 KM)

Assisi is now upon us and the few kilometers to go will allow you to arrive easily. You will only have to overcome a few ups and downs in the first part of the day, while the last kilometers, which alternate dirt and asphalt, flow in the Umbrian plain from where you can already see the unmistakable profile of Assisi.
