Your overnight stay will be in a hotel with a swimming pool close (1000 m.) to the historical centre of Assisi.

The city walk will take you among the most important monuments of the town, which are mostly connected with the lives of the saints Francis and Clare, who were born in Assisi.

The walk through the hills surrounding Assisi starts at the town gate Porta Cappuccini. From here you immediately enter the woods of the natural park of Mount Subasio. Passing the hamlets Costa di Trex and Ponte Grande the route will bring you back to Assisi through gentle, rolling countryside.

There are two routes to go to Spello: a longer route going uphill to the hermitage Eremo delle Carceri (5 hours) or a shorter one (3 hours) through the olive groves along the slopes of Mt.Subasio. The latter route involves less climbing, but it also offers astounding views.  Your overnight stay is in the historical centre of Spello. This little town has  Roman origins, as we are reminded by several features including the Porta Venere and porta Consolare town gates and the remains of a Roman theatre outside the town walls. You will stay in a beautiful location in the medieval part of Spello

From Spello to Bevagna (4 hours)

You will leave the hills for a while now and will descend into the valley 'Valle Umbra'. Walking on quiet little country roads you will arrive in Bevagna, which unlike most Umbrian towns isn't built on a hilltop, but rather at the confluence of the rivers Topino and Timia. During Roman times Bevagna was a prosperous town, because it was situated along the busy trade road, the via Flaminia, which connected Rome with the Adriatic coast. The heart of this town is the square Piazza Silvestri with its beautiful fountain and two Romanesque churches. Your hotel is in the historical centre of the town

From Bevagna to Montefalco (4 hours)               

Here you will be walking once again through a slightly hilly landscape, but the olive groves will soon make way for vineyards. The hills surrounding Montefalco are famous for the production of the excellent wines  Rosso di Montefalco and Sagrantino. To reach the town you have to climb, because Montefalco is -predictable- built on a hilltop. The St.Francis church is now the seat of a fine museum housing, among other things, frescoes by the Florentine painter Benozzo Gozzoli. Don't forget to taste one of the delicious Montefalco wines in one of the many wine bars.

From Montefalco to Campello (6h or 3h30)

On the way to Trevi your route crosses the fertile valley with its various waterways. Trevi is also called the capital of olive oil and indeed you will notice that the slopes of the surrounding mountains are covered with evergreen olive groves. From Trevi the route will lead you through these olive groves to your hotel in Campello.

From Campello to Spoleto ( 5 h30)

Today the olive grove path will take you through characteristic little hamlets. After Eggi it continues along the old abandoned Norcia - Spoleto railway line. It is a very atmospheric trail, passing through little tunnels and crossing a railway bridge before arriving in Spoleto. Your overnight stay is in the medieval centre .
