We've graded the walking on this tour as leisurely and moderate. You should have a basic level of fitness to take part.
As we explore Umbria's rural beauty, the pathways and routes can be uneven and times slippery. We recommend bringing comfortable walking shoes. It goes without saying that Rome is a bucket list destination. We'll have plenty of time to explore this iconic city, but you should be prepared for crowds and book in advance for more popular sites.
Walking Information:
Day 4: 10KM
Day 5: 14KM
Day 6: 8KM
Day 7: 6KM
Walks on 4 days for between 2.5 to 6 hours. As 2 of the walks are graded Leisurely and 2 are graded Moderate, you need to be confident of your ability to manage a Moderate grade hike to enjoy this trip. We stay in a Hilltop town, the countryside here is undulating with total ascents over the course of the hikes of several hundred metres. See the walking summary in the day-to-day itinerary for greater detail. You will be walking on a mix of strade bianche, the compacted gravel roads typical of Umbria, as well as farm trails and mule tracks. The trails are generally good but can become slippery in wet weather and in hot weather there may be little in the way of shade.
