Above Assisi, the massif that gives its name to the famous pecorino cheese opens into high pastures and woods of oak and beech — a regional park crossed by trails for walking or cycling, with views over the Umbrian valley that the historic centre can't offer.
Monte Subasio's trails by day, your apartment at night? Check availability for your dates.
From the city to the park
Monte Subasio is today a Regional Park: a network of trails connects Assisi to the Eremo delle Carceri — the hermitage where Francis retreated to pray, set into the mountain's rock — and continues towards the summit, at 1,290 metres. The landscape changes gradually along the way: from the dense woods near the Eremo, the trail climbs towards open high pastures, where the view stretches all the way to the Umbrian valley.
Subasio pecorino cheese
It's the mountain that gave its name to Subasio pecorino, still produced today by the flocks grazing at altitude. The same massif is also the natural source of the famous pink stone used to build much of Assisi — the stone that gives the town the colour visible from afar, especially at sunset.

From Agriturismo La Mora
The Eremo delle Carceri, starting point of the main trails, is 12.2 km from La Mora, about 20 minutes by car according to Google Maps. For those who prefer to travel lighter, the e-bike available for hire at the property makes the uphill stretches much easier without giving up on the trip.
Back to La Mora: countryside all year, the pool from May to September.
