This loop e-bike tour of about 29 km and 490 m of elevation gain, with a medium level, starts from San Gimignano and crosses the hills of Val d’Elsa. The route alternates about 13 km of trails and 10 km of road, with very short connections on secondary roads, singletrack and off-network sections: a varied combination, with steady climbs and gravel sections that require a minimum level of riding confidence.

After leaving the village, the track enters a landscape of vineyards, olive groves, cultivated fields and farmhouses, offering continuous views of the famous towers of San Gimignano. One of the most scenic points is the viewpoint marked along the route, ideal for a photo stop with the medieval skyline of the town in the background.

The ride continues to Fattoria Poggio Alloro, an organic farm surrounded by countryside, where you can stop for a snack or add, by reservation, a tasting of wines and local products. The return to San Gimignano follows more panoramic sections among hills and rows of vines, completing an ideal experience that combines nature, landscapes and Tuscan flavours.
