Road and gravel cycling through rolling Tuscan hills and historic towns.
Planning brief
Base yourself around Siena or Pienza. The guide currently covers 47 route ideas across 4 riding styles, with the strongest fit in Gravel.
Distances, climbing, costs and seasonality can change. Confirm the exact route, legal access, weather, transport and accommodation with current local sources.
Derived from each route's recorded surface, not from a bike review.
Every planner route here is graded Confident or Expert. Newer riders should treat this destination as a stretch, or pick a gentler base.
The archived BRouter files contain elevation values from a layer that is not cleared for commercial publication. The repair is to preserve the OSM-routed geometry, replace every elevation sample with NASADEM data, recalculate ascent and timing, and publish only after automated provenance and regression checks pass.
