The first stage starts in Passignano sul Trasimeno, a lively village, thanks to the numerous cafés along the lake, and rich in history. Walking through the narrow streets of the historic centre, one arrives at the Rocca, which offers a splendid panorama of the lake.

The walk continues towards the hills above the village where it is possible to admire the Isola Maggiore and Isola Minore. You continue along a flat, open and scenic stretch of road and arrive at the tower of Monte Ruffiano, also known as the Torre delle Streghe (Witches' Tower).

From there you reach a rest area located right next to the archaeological site “La Valle Nature Reserve”. Through olive groves, woods and vineyards, we reach the village of San Savino, which, from above the La Valle Nature Reserve, offers suggestive sunsets.
