Siena is the ideal destination for cycling tourism, thanks to its perfect mix of breathtaking landscapes, medieval villages, and scenic roads. The Sienese territory offers countless routes suitable for both experienced cyclists and those looking for a relaxing ride.
According to all our customers, what sets the Sienese area apart is the variety of landscapes found within a relatively small area.
We can roughly divide the Sienese countryside into four main areas: Chianti to the north, the Crete Senesi to the southeast, the Val d’Orcia to the south, and the west of Siena extending to the upper Maremma.
The Chianti region lies in the heart of Tuscany, between the cities of Florence, Siena, and Arezzo.
The entire area is characterized by rugged hills, green landscapes covered with kilometers of vineyards and olive groves, medieval walls, and castles. The unique climate and soil make Chianti particularly suited for producing high-quality wines and oils.
The region is also rich in castles, medieval villages, and wineries steeped in history and charm.
The Crete Senesi are renowned for their striking and surreal landscapes.
The clay hills, eroded by rain and wind over the centuries, create a fascinating panorama often compared to a lunar landscape.
Declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2004, the Val d’Orcia is known for its iconic views, featuring rolling hills, cypress trees, vineyards, and medieval villages. Must-visit spots include Pienza, Montalcino, San Quirico d’Orcia, and Bagno Vignoni.
The countryside west of Siena is undoubtedly the least known to the general public, but no less fascinating. Without a doubt, it has remained the most authentic and least exploited area for tourism.
Notable villages include Sasso Fortino, Rocca Tederighi, and Tatti, which overlook the Maremma and offer stunning sea views.
