Gravel Tour Italia Umbria

Gravel Tour Italia: Umbria is an invitation to explore Italy’s green heart by way of its iconic white roads — the strade bianche. These historic paths of compacted chalk and limestone trace their way across the Umbrian hills, winding through ancient villages, olive groves, and ridgelines that open out onto sweeping Apennine views.

Over five days of point-to-point riding, you’ll cover a carefully balanced mix of gravel and tarmac terrain, with routes designed to inspire a sense of adventure while remaining accessible to any regular cyclist. This is not a technical mountain bike tour, but a refined journey for those curious to explore something new.

You’ll pass through places like San Gemini, with its noble palaces and mineral waters, the high-mountain traditions of Norcia, and the spiritual skyline of Assisi. Every day offers new vistas, new roads, and a rhythm that reconnects you with the landscape — far from tourist crowds, close to the soul of Italy.

Gravel Tour Italia: Umbria is ideal for road cyclists intrigued by gravel, and gravel riders seeking something elevated — a seamless blend of off-the-beaten-track discovery and signature Volta style. We provide premium gravel bikes as part of the package, or you’re welcome to bring your own.

Our handpicked hotels offer a distinctive experience each night: from restored palaces to modern designer properties, every stay reflects the unique character of its surroundings, with comfort and charm in equal measure. You’ll ride hard, and rest well.

As ever, Volta Pro Tours takes care of every detail — expert guides, mechanical support, bike washing, luggage transfers, and ride nutrition — so you can stay focused on the road ahead. And when the ride ends, the flavours begin: long Umbrian dinners, local wines, and stories shared around the table.

This is gravel cycling reimagined. A journey through Italy that’s adventurous, elegant, and deeply authentic — the Volta way.
