Description

Once you have booked the tour, you can go to our rental point to pick up the bikes, so you can set off with our virtual navigation that will guide you step by step.

An eBike tour through the hills of Val d'Elsa and the skyline of Monteriggioni, designed for those who want to cycle through the most authentic Tuscany at their own pace. The route starts in the area of Colle Val d'Elsa and forms a loop of about 32 km, with moderate elevation gain and a pleasant mix of secondary roads, dirt tracks and scenic stretches. It is an ideal route for eBikes: the climbs are manageable and give way to smooth descents and constantly changing scenery.

You'll ride through fields of crops, rows of vines, tiny hamlets and dirt roads that convey the character of this area, suspended between the Sienese countryside and medieval history. One of the most striking moments is the approach to Monteriggioni, with its walls and towers suddenly appearing among the hills: a stop here allows you to soak up the atmosphere of the fortified village and enjoy one of the most iconic views of the Via Francigena.

The terrain is varied but suitable for an MTB eBike: quiet paved roads and well-packed dirt roads. The tour does not require extreme fitness, but a minimum level of familiarity with riding on mixed surfaces makes the experience smoother and more enjoyable. It is perfect for an active half-day, with the right balance between nature, history and the pleasure of cycling.
