Water and Wild Nature
The adrenaline of the Nera River
Rafting in the Valnerina combines adrenaline and beauty along the most scenic stretch of the Nera River, upstream from the Marmore Falls. Exciting rapids set within narrow canyons, rocky walls, and lush vegetation accompany every paddle stroke. It is an activity suitable for everyone, to be enjoyed in groups or with family alongside experienced guides. The cold waters of the Nera and the power of nature create a truly unique experience, offering a different perspective on the Valnerina.
Mountains and Trails
On foot, with snowshoes, or by mountain bike
Umbria offers an endless network of trekking trails that cross the Sibillini Mountains, Mount Subasio, and the Valnerina, ranging from easy routes to more challenging hikes. In winter, snowshoeing transforms the experience: the Plain of Castelluccio is blanketed in snow and becomes perfect for walking with snowshoes, immersed in silence and snowy landscapes. Mountain biking finds ideal terrain in the Valnerina, with over 300 km of trails and dirt roads: a valley of rugged beauty, made for those seeking untouched nature and technical challenges.
Among Hills and Valleys
On horseback through the Umbrian landscape
Horseback riding excursions allow you to discover Umbria at a slow pace, riding through cultivated hills, blooming fields, and silent woods. Numerous farm stays and riding stables organize outings lasting even several days, suitable for both experienced riders and beginners. The horse becomes the perfect companion to immerse yourself in the landscape, admire hilltop villages from above, and experience direct contact with nature.
The Sky of Umbria
Paragliding over the Apennines
Paragliding offers the thrill of flying freely over the Umbrian Apennines, admiring from above the Plain of Castelluccio with its spring blooms. A tandem flight with an experienced pilot allows you to enjoy the experience without any technical preparation, focusing on the joy of gliding over mountains, valleys, and villages. An experience that completely changes your perspective on the Umbrian landscape.
