Trekking in Umbria

Sunday July 20 I joined a hiking tour with Alessio from Trekking in Umbria to the Mount Borghese (2145 m) and the Mount Porche (Mount Bellavista 2233 m) in the Monti Sibillini mountains.

The views during this tour were stunning. Flowers were everywhere near  Castelluccio di Norcia and the three valleys: Vallelunga, Vallinfante and Valle del Lago.

At the top of the Mount Porche on the east side the panorama towards the “Blue Mountains” was just amazing!  This hiking tour is for experienced hikers only.

    Oh, my, what a gift of beauty you’ve laid out for us here! I had no idea that there were places as gorgeous as this! Makes me sad that I am not an experienced hiker. 🙁 I would love to see something as amazing as this – I’d sing out loud my thanks and praises!

      Trekking in Umbria organizes many hiking tours in the Valnerina and in the Sibillini Mountains (Umbria). Alessio is a friendly and experienced guide from Terni. Soon there will be a night hiking tour into pure nature together with Trekking in Umbria… Amazing!

      You can see most of the flowers that are in this post on very easy walks, actually a lot even from a car!

        Thanks, good to know. When is the best time of year to see the flowers?

          We went at the beginning of June, but this last winter was very mild so I think later would also be OK we saw amazing orchids and gentians close to roads. If you look at my posts you’ll be able to see what we saw. There is a great place to have a wonderful meal, and you can stay there called Il Tiglio.

            Beautiful! I didn’t see the “Edelweiss” on the pictures. But as we noticed you can see them only in the mountains, above 2000 m. Thank you for the tip. Next time in Castelluccio di Norcia I will have my lunch at Il Tiglio!

            No, we didn’t see Edelweiss probably because we weren’t high enough or maybe we ere too early for it.

          June and July are the best months of the year to admire the beautiful flowers @ Castelluccio di Norcia. We hope to see you next year 😉

    We saw most of the wild flowers you show plus orchids at a lower level in early June.
