March 15, 2024,Anello San Quirico d'Orcia - Pienza

Leave the car near San Quirico d'Orcia and follow the path towards the Vitaleta Chapel, then proceed towards Pienza. After the visit you return to the starting point following an alternative path to the outward one, completing the ring.

March 7, 2023,Runde durch das Val d'Orcia: Pienza- Quirico d'Orcia

Panorama tour like in a picture book. The fantastic hilly landscape, in the background the Amiata massif as well as Pienza and San Quirico d'Orcia make this circular hike a highlight.

September 15, 2024,Von San Quirico d'Orcia nach Pienza und zurück

Another hike through Tuscany, past vineyards, olive groves and hilly landscapes. We followed in the footsteps of the gladiator. We passed two sets from the film "The Gladiator". Those were my husband's highlights. 😉 Otherwise a lovely round trip uphill and downhill in the most beautiful sunshine. And the town of Pienza is definitely worth a trip or hike.

June 3, 2023,San Quirico d'Orcia nach Pienza

Pleasure tour from San Quirico through Val d'Orcia to Pienza. After a delicious lunch, we quickly returned via the Capella di Vitaleta, as it was unclear whether there would still be thunderstorms.
In Quirico, komoot got out again on the last km.
Nevertheless, a fantastically beautiful tour with magnificent views 🤗

Location of the film Ridley Scott's gladiator (Elysian fields) Route also suitable for MTB. Much of the route is on land. At certain times of the year it could be very muddy. Possible extensions to San Quirico (other galadiatore locations) but above all the fantastic historic center

September 2, 2025,🇮🇹Val d' Orcia 👍 Pienza 😍

Pienza 😍
Located in one of the most beautiful areas of Tuscany 👍
And of course, who doesn't know the scene from the movie Gladiator 💪
Just like in the movie. The area is breathtakingly beautiful 😍

May 9, 2024,Wanderung Capella della Madonna - Pienza

Beautiful area and view. Warning: there are a lot of ticks in the grass, which is difficult with 🐕. Therefore, dogs and humans must be checked regularly. Pienza has a charming old town. A visit is recommended. Parking spaces for camper vans are in short supply. An alternative is the parking lot by the chapel and the hike to Pienza …
