To visit in the area Panicale, Paciano, Fontignano, Trasimeno Lake.

 

This route starts in Panicale and covers 48 kilometres with a 750-metre elevation gain. It is not particularly demanding, but should be considered moderately difficult due to the continuous ups and downs and, in particular, the climb up to Panicale, which must be tackled twice from two different sides. For the more experienced, this is no big deal, but those who are less prepared will need to pace themselves.
