Seven Tuscan cycle routes

 

   
     

 

 


Ciclovia dei Pellegrini (or Ciclovia Francigena)

 
     


The La Foce Cypress Lined Road. The trees on this road were planted by Iris Origo and Cecil Pinsent 
to make a nice view from her house and gardens.

 

     


Ciclopista del Sole

 


Ciclovia Tirrenica
| Tyrrhenian sea Cycleway

The Tyrrhenian sea Cycleway is a relaxed 317-kilometre tour along the coast of Tuscany using a combination of quiet roads and cycleways. Before Eentering Tuscany near Ameglia, the Moncenisio variant of the Ciclovia Francigena (iclovia dei Pellegrini) passes through Liguria from Piemonte. This is an excellent route on quiet roads which reaches the coast near Chiavari and then heads, more or less along the coast, towards the Cinque Terre and La Spezia.

 

 

 


Gran Tour della Maremma

 

   

The Gran Tour della Maremma is a 405-kilometer circular tour in the south-western part of Toscana. It is the longest and hardest cycling itinerary in the Tuscan Maremma. The trail takes you from the sea to the shoulder of the Monte Amiata and through several hilltop towns that are among the most authentic in Toscana including Massa Marittima, Capalbio, Magliano in Toscana, Scansano, Sorano, Sovana, and Pitigliano.

The Grand Tour della Val di Merse

 

   


 

The Grand Tour della Val di Merse covers a vast area, passing through the heart of the Montagnola Senese before arriving at the southern foothills of the Elsa and Cecina valleys, then rolling southwards to the Ombrone valley which briefly touches the Maremma Gros- setana, before going back up to skirt the northern part of the Crete, the magnificent gateway to Siena, a typically hilly territory characterised by a surprising variety of natural environments.
