Chiaserna: Vacation Apartment, CAI Trail 254 and Local History

Chiaserna combines mountain trails, local history and nature-related attractions. CAI Trail 254 leads from Chiaserna to the summit of Monte Catria. As you climb this trail, you can enjoy views of the Valle delle Patate. For a day in the mountains around Chiaserna, this route can be planned as one continuous ascent. The summit of Monte Catria defines the destination, while the Valle delle Patate forms part of the landscape associated with the climb. Your day plan can follow this specific route. At the same time, the inhabited town center provides a direct historical connection within Chiaserna itself. When planning your stay, you can therefore consider the mountain landscape and local history as two distinct focal points.

Trails and mountain landscapes around Chiaserna

The nearby area around Chiaserna includes Monte Petria, a mountain; Monte Orneti, a summit; Monte Aguzzo, a mountain; and Monte Acuto, a mountain. These four elevations complement the landscape around the town. On days focused on activity and mountain scenery, they can be included in your plans alongside the ascent on CAI Trail 254. This gives your itinerary an independent landscape focus in addition to the inhabited town center.

Local history and sacred sites in Chiaserna

The Church of Sant'Anastasia is located in the center of Chiaserna's inhabited town center. Its building history comprises several dated stages: in 1838, it was rebuilt in place of the nearby old Abbey of San Michele; in 1911, a transept and a dome were added. Inside, the church contains three altarpieces. The ruins of Sant'Angelo Abbey are also located in Chiaserna. Sant'Anastasia and Sant'Angelo therefore represent two sacred sites within the town, found in different architectural forms.

Churches, museums and an ancient site

The Abbey of Santa Maria di Sitria, a church, is located in the area around Chiaserna. In the wider region surrounding Chiaserna are Palazzo dei Consoli, a museum; Teatro Romano Gubbio, an ancient site; and the Civic Picture Gallery, a museum. Those interested in culture can include the sacred heritage of Santa Maria di Sitria, together with Palazzo dei Consoli Museum, Teatro Romano Gubbio and the Civic Picture Gallery, in their regional itinerary.

Horseback riding and nature observation

In Chiaserna, Centro Ippico Badia organizes horseback rides. In addition, a horse fair takes place in Chiaserna in May and October. When planning a visit to Chiaserna, the horse fair and wolf incidents fall in different seasonal periods. Horse-related activities and winter nature-related attractions can therefore be planned separately around the town. In recent years, several incidents involving wolves have been recorded in Chiaserna during winter.
