Castelluccio di Norcia Tours and Activities | Book Online

Nestled in the heart of Umbria, Castelluccio di Norcia is a charming hilltop village famous for its breathtaking landscapes and sweeping fields of wildflowers. Surrounded by the snow-capped Sibillini Mountains and overlooking the vast Piano Grande, this small hamlet is a true hidden gem for nature lovers, photographers, and anyone searching for peace and authentic Italian countryside experiences.

A Glimpse into the Past

This ancient village, perched at over 1,400 meters above sea level, has a rich history shaped by its remote location. Over the centuries, it was a refuge for shepherds and farmers, and the traditions of rural life are still visible in its stone houses and narrow alleys. Despite earthquakes and the passage of time, Castelluccio’s charm and cultural heritage have endured.

Seasonal Highlights

One of the most magical times to visit is during the “Fioritura,” typically from late May to early July, when the plateau explodes in a mosaic of vibrant colors. Sun-drenched poppies, violets, and lentil flowers create a natural spectacle that attracts visitors from all over.

How do I get there?

Castelluccio is best reached by car, as public transportation is limited. Roads wind through the Apennines, offering scenic drives with incredible views. Be prepared for mountain routes and weather changes, especially in winter.
