Montone Walk, Tuscany Umbria Walking

Today I did the new version of the Montone Long Walk, a beautiful walk in stunning scenery with views of Tuscany, Umbria and Le Marche. The walk starts and ends in the beautiful walled town of Montone in Umbria.

We headed away from the town and after a short climb we looked back to admire the view of Montone.

The path descended to the valley floor, crossing strange rocky landscapes and into oak woods.

Climbing to the Rocca d'Aries, Montone Walk

We climbed from the valley floor to the Rocca d’Aries, a castle perched  on a high ridge, dominating the territory below.

The route took us along a ridge track with stunning views, still heading away from Montone.

Eventually, the path started to loop back.

The return route was more direct, the views were fantastic as we followed the paths along the ridge.
