From its cliff, the city stands as a large island of tufa above the valley of the Paglia and Chiani rivers, with a background of green Umbrian hills and the peak of Mount Peglia, recently declared by Unesco a “Mab Reserve”.

Orvieto offers the beautiful Umbrian countryside with nature, tradition and quality of life. The wide area of its surroundings embrace boroughs and villages in an green area mostly used for the cultivation of vineyards and olive trees, and several unspoiled areas in which you can participate in sports activities and excursions.

In particular, in and around Orvieto there are many itineraries and paths, some of them are part of the Paao (the archaeological and natural park of Orvieto which starts from with the natural ring path just at the bottom of the tufa plateau) and others part of the Monte Peglia and Selva di Meana system.  Bike lovers can find interesting itineraries among small villages and vineyards.
