Outdoor fun for all ages

Umbria’s natural beauty makes it an excellent choice for active family outings. Lake Trasimeno, Italy’s fourth-largest lake, is a popular spot for families. Younger children can enjoy boating, fishing, or taking the ferry to a nearby island, while older kids and teens can have fun with canoes, pedal boats, or other water sports. The lake’s scenic views and peaceful setting also make it perfect for a relaxed picnic by the water.

For more adventurous families, Umbria’s landscape offers a wide variety of activities. From easy walking trails to more challenging hikes with panoramic views—there’s a route for everyone. Mountain biking is also a favorite, with trails winding through forests and hills. In areas like Norcia and Spoleto, families can even try zip-lining for an extra dose of excitement in a breathtaking natural setting.
