Spello is an enchanting town to visit all year round and is included in the list of the "Most Beautiful Villages in Italy". Spello is best known for the flower displays created every year on the occasion of Corpus Domini. The streets of the village are covered with paintings recreated with petals and flowers created by artists and inhabitants of the village. The village is still surrounded by well-preserved Roman walls, in which three gates open: the Urbica gate, the Consular gate, from the 1st century BC, and the Venus gate.

From Collepino to Spello – loop in the Monte Subasio Regional Park

12.6km

04:00

500m

Embark on a moderate 7.8-mile (12.6 km) hike through the Monte Subasio Regional Park, gaining 1650 feet (503 metres) in elevation over approximately 4 hours. This loop takes you through extensive olive groves and Mediterranean woods, offering panoramic views of the Umbria valley and the medieval skyline of Spello. A significant portion of the path follows an ancient Roman aqueduct, providing a remarkably level section for several kilometers before a steeper ascent to the charming village of Collepino.

While the initial four kilometers from Spello are mostly flat and relatively easy, prepare for a notably steeper and more challenging climb as you approach Collepino. This final half-kilometer push involves a significant elevation gain, and you may encounter loose rocks on this demanding section. The trail is generally tranquil, allowing you to immerse yourself in the natural beauty and historical atmosphere of the region, with picnic tables and benches available for rest.

The most distinguishing feature of this route is the ancient Roman aqueduct, an impressive feat of engineering from the time of Augustus, parts of which are still clearly visible. This historical structure adds a unique dimension to your hike. Collepino itself is a well-preserved medieval village, offering an authentic glimpse into Umbrian life with its stone walls and houses, making it a peaceful destination within the loop.
