Alone among Italian provinces, Umbria and those at the foot of the Alps are landlocked. Not that water is lacking: they host the peninsula’s largest lakes. But they share the focus of mountain provinces the world over: a local authenticity relatively untrampled by “outsiders” of whatever stamp.

The differences in their mountainscapes are considerable, of course. Indeed, there is little link between olive-covered Monte Subasio and snow-covered Monte Rosa. This trip lets you experience the geographical heart of Italy, and then travel to her most European province. Because, with a dose of olive oil, variety is the spice of life!
