Assisi, Collepino, Monte Subasio – Gravel in Umbria

Gravel riding

Assisi rises on the slopes of Mount Subasio. This peak of 1,290 meters above sea level has always been a popular destination for those who love sports and the mountains. From the summit you can appreciate the westward view over the Assisi valley to Lake Trasimeno and, on clear days, to Monte Amiata. In case of bad weather, check the weather conditions on Mount Subasio in advance. In the winter months, the snow could make the road to the summit impassable.

There are various ways to climb Mount Subasio. In this tour the ascent takes place from Collepino. After leaving Assisi, walk along the south-facing side of the mountain, where the olive trees enjoy perfect sun exposure. The Tour touches Spello before heading towards Collepino. The climb to the summit starts from this charming little medieval village: don't forget to fill your water bottle at the fountain in the parking lot.

The first hairpin bends are hard and asphalted, but then the slope fades and the road becomes dirt - nothing too technical, with constant slope.

Pay attention on the descent. The bottom is in good condition, but there are still some larger stones that emerge. The road returns to asphalted after the Eremo delle Carceri, a place of meditation for San Francesco, and reaches the station of Assisi passing through the center.

Olive Tree Road

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

This mid-coast connection between Assisi and Spello is the ideal route to avoid the state road at the bottom of the valley. The street owes its name to the presence of olive groves along the entire route. Some short sections are on light and compact dirt road. However, the road is open to vehicular traffic so you must always pay attention.

Gravel climb to Subasio from Collepino

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

This segment takes you to the top of Mount Subasio starting from Collepino. The first part is quite steep but on asphalt. Once you reach the upper limit of the forest, the road becomes dirt, the bottom is a bit bumpy but still appreciable. A fantastic stretch to cover both with gravel bikes and with mtb.

View from the Stazzi Meadows

Highlight • Viewpoint

When the road changes from asphalt to dirt, silence and nature become the masters of Subasio; and the heart of a cyclist who has had the strength and desire to climb up here fills with joy, and the fatigue vanishes as if by magic.

Basilica of Saint Francis

Highlight • Religious Site

The Basilica of San Francesco is a masterpiece of human creative genius, both from an architectural and artistic point of view. The basilica is made up of two superimposed churches (the lower and the upper), as well as a crypt excavated in 1818. The tomb of the Saint is preserved here, a simple sarcophagus resting on the bare rock. Cimabue, Giotto, the Lorenzetti Brothers, Simone Martini: the greatest artists of the thirteenth and fourteenth centuries frescoed the walls and ceilings of the basilica.
