There is a way of traveling that measures success not in kilometers traveled, but in emotions lived. This is Slow Tourism, a philosophy that invites you to set aside the frenetic pace of everyday life and listen to the rhythm of the land. At Altarocca Wine Resort, nestled among the vineyards and hills of Umbria, this philosophy is the beating heart of our hospitality.
Our vision of well-being and sustainability finds an ideal ally in a new project for 2026: the Umbria Green Route – Infinita Meraviglia. This important regional undertaking perfectly aligns with the values we believe in, offering nature lovers a new way to explore our region.
What is the Umbria Green Route?
The Umbria Green Route is an approximately 80-kilometer loop dedicated to sustainable transportation, winding through the heart of southwestern Umbria. The route connects three extraordinary areas: Montecchio, Baschi, and our own Orvieto.
It is not just a trail for cyclists or hikers; it is a green infrastructure designed to reconnect people with the landscape. Traveling along it means passing through unspoiled medieval villages, centuries-old olive groves, and, of course, the vineyards that make our region famous around the world.
Why choose it for your next getaway to Altarocca?
Choosing the Green Route means immersing yourself in a picturesque loop that blends history and nature. Starting right from our Resort, it’s easy to set out on this journey to discover precious, authentic gems like the village of Tenaglie and admire the breathtaking views overlooking the Tiber Valley. An experience designed to offer maximum freedom to anyone wishing to explore the rolling Umbrian hills, transforming the walk into a complete sensory journey. Along the way, the “Infinite Wonder” manifests itself in the colors and enveloping scents of the Mediterranean scrub, which offer a different and fascinating spectacle in every season.
Altarocca Wine Resort: Your Slow Retreat
Choosing to explore the Umbria Green Route while staying at Altarocca elevates the slow travel experience. After a day spent cycling or walking along the trails of the Orvieto area, returning to the Resort becomes a ritual of pure well-being.
Relaxation continues naturally in our Wine Spa, where exclusive treatments based on wine and oil therapy celebrate the fruits of the land you’ve just traversed, rejuvenating both body and spirit.
This “slow” philosophy extends to the dining table as well, in our Invinum Restaurant, where locally sourced food and wine and regional products become a love story for the land. Here you can rediscover the true luxury of time, perhaps sipping a glass of wine from Cantina Altarocca on our terrace at sunset; as you gaze upon the hills you have just explored, you will find the most authentic and refined way to honor the concept of Infinite Wonder.
The perfect pace for your journey
The Umbria Green Route isn’t just a trail; it’s an invitation to rediscover yourself through contact with an authentic region.
To get the most out of this route, the secret is to allow yourself the luxury of taking your time: let curiosity be your guide, stopping in a small square to chat with the locals, visiting an olive oil mill, or pausing to admire the architectural details of the castles that dot the landscape. Let the seasons inspire you to choose your ideal time to visit: spring, with its explosion of colors, and autumn, which paints the vineyards in warm hues, offer magical scenes where the Umbrian light becomes pure poetry.
