About
A 70 km loop through Italy’s heart. The Anello Cimino winds from Viterbo to Caprarola and back, tracing a path rich with medieval churches and Renaissance charm.
Seven stages, 2,331 meters of elevation gain, the scent of wild herbs dances in the air. Don’t let the beginner-friendly label fool you; the hills can bite.
Each step reveals local festivals and culinary delights, best savored in spring or autumn when the Colli Nivoli hills hum with life. This is more than a walk; it’s a taste of Italy’s vibrant spirit.
