Cycling Around Lake Trasimeno: 60 Kilometers of Pure Joy

A Perfect Day Trip from Villa Lidia


One of the best things to do during a stay at Villa Lidia? Hop on a bike and circle Lake Trasimeno. The route is about 60 km long, enough to feel like an adventure, short enough to finish before dinner.

Choose Your Ride: Regular or Electric?

Feeling sporty? Grab a regular bike. Want to enjoy the views without sweating buckets? Go for an **e-bike** from Valentini Bikes in Castiglione del Lago. Their bikes are solid, and the e-bikes have enough power to make you feel like a Tour de France champ (minus the Lycra).

A Route That Delivers

The route is fabulous. Although you don’t always see the lake, it’s there, just playing hide-and-seek behind olive groves and trees. But when it shows up? Breathtaking views that make you stop, stare, and snap a hundred photos.

Along the way, you’ll roll through charming villages like Tuoro, Passignano, and San Feliciano, perfect spots to grab a coffee, a gelato, or a pasta with a glass of local wine.

It's awesome. Of course it’s not a race. It’s a day of fresh air, gentle exercise, and pure Italian vibes. Families love it. Couples love it. Solo adventurers love it. By the end, you’ll feel relaxed, happy, and maybe a little proud. Sixty kilometers? You did that!
