Assisi, Bettona, Cannara - Gravel in Umbria

03:17

46.3km

290m

Gravel riding

From Assisi the tour first follows the course of the Tescio river and then continues on the banks of the Chiascio among olive groves and oak trees, on singletrack or dirt road. This stretch is very pleasant and has numerous natural views and rest areas. On weekends it can be busier with pedestrians, runners and cyclists.

Before Bettona, the itinerary takes you back to the paved road. At this point, tackle the short but tiring climb to the town. The climb is rewarded by the visit of this medieval village and by a fountain with fresh water, located in the main square. The descent takes you to Cannara. Here you have to leave the main road to briefly follow the banks of another river: the Topino.

The last few kilometers have the city of Assisi as a backdrop, perched on the base of Mount Subasio. The tour does not pass through the city, but if you want to make a detour, you can reach the center by bicycle from the station in less than half an hour.

Trail along the Tescio River

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

It is a beautiful path along the Tescio river. It is part of the cycle / pedestrian path that connects Assisi to Bettona. The bottom is smooth when dry, but it can get muddy with little rain. During the weekend it can be busier.

Bettona is a village of Etruscan origins. Part of the walls surrounding the city dates back to that period. The village was then conquered by the Romans and called Vettona. Completely destroyed in 1352 by the armies of Perugia, it was rebuilt in 1367 by order of Cardinal Egidio Albornoz. Bettona remained part of the Papal State until the unification of Italy. Today it is included in the list of the association "The most beautiful villages in Italy".

Cannara village center

Highlight • Settlement

Cannara is a small village located in the heart of the Umbrian plain, on the banks of the Topino river. From here you can admire the slopes of Mount Subasio to the east, with Assisi on one side and Spello on the other. To the west you can see the top of Monte Le Cinque Querce. Cannara owes its name to the reeds that once grew in the swampy areas of the Topino.

The Basilica of S. Maria degli Angeli was built between 1569 and 1679 at the behest of Pope St. Pius V in order to guard the chapels of the Porziuncola, the Transito and the Rose Garden and other places made sacred by the memory of St. Francis. The original project by Galeazzo Alessi is characterized by a rigorous structural simplicity, conforming to the Franciscan ideal of poverty.
