At 604 m above sea-level, in the most mountainous and picturesque corner of Umbria, Norcia is a well-known holiday resort. We should underline the local tourist and sports facilities, thanks to which Norcia is frequently chosen as the ideal site for pre-season training camps by top sports clubs. The smooth, beautiful slopes of Castelluccio are perfect for skiing of all kinds, as well as being highly suitable for hang-gliding. Norcia is often described as the little capital of the mountain on account of the excellent hotel facilities, wide choice of services, and thriving economy, largely based on traditional Norcineria food products, as well as being a centre for folklore, fairs and frequent musical events. Without doubt Norcia is a paradise for the gourmet, celebrated far and wide for its pork sausages, black truffles, cheeses and the lentils which are the basic ingredients of the genuine, savoury local cuisine. |
