L'Umbria is the only region of peninsular Italy with no coastline: a green heart made of Apennine ridges, karst uplands, river valleys and olive-clad hills. Across this territory we have recorded 712 hiking trails mapped on OpenStreetMap, crossing 254 towns across the provinces of Perugia e Terni. Of these, 198 have enough data for a dedicated listing with length, elevation gain, difficulty and the towns crossed; the rest are listed for completeness on the area pages, pending more complete data.
Dai Monti Sibillini — shared with the Marche and overlooking the Pian Grande of Castelluccio di Norcia — to the Parco del Monte Cucco, dalla Valnerina scavata dal fiume Nera fino alle rive del Lago Trasimeno, Umbria offers routes for every level: easy hill loops in the olive belt, historic mule tracks, high-altitude trails on the Apennine massifs. Many tracks coincide with stages of famous pilgrim ways or with the Sentiero Italia CAI, which crosses the region: here, though, we treat them as hiking trails, with their technical data.
