Embark on a challenging road cycling loop through the heart of Tuscany, starting from Montalcino. This difficult 45.9-mile (73.9 km) route, with its 3679 feet (1121 metres) of elevation gain, typically takes around 3 hours and 36 minutes to complete. You will ride through undulating green hills, past expansive vineyards and ancient olive groves, and along cypress-lined roads, all while enjoying panoramic views of the Val d'Orcia.
Prepare for a demanding ride that requires very good fitness, as the route features steep climbs and some challenging "strade bianche," or white roads. While mostly well-paved, certain unpaved segments may be difficult to ride, and you might need to push your bike at times. Plan your hydration and nutrition carefully for this sustained effort across the hilly landscape.
This loop offers a classic Tuscan cycling experience, connecting the historically significant towns of Montalcino and Montefollonico. The inclusion of "strade bianche" echoes the famous L'Eroica event, celebrating the region's unique gravel roads and cycling heritage. You will immerse yourself in the natural beauty and cultural richness of the Val d'Orcia, a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
