Cycling holidays Tuscany

In the hotel, you will first get detailed information on the tour and your bikes. Afterwards, we recommend taking a walk in the spa park or taking the historical rack railway train to Montecatini Alto.

On your way to Lucca, you will pass the small, medieval wine town of Monte Carlo, where one of the few white wines of Tuscany flourishes. (Alternatively, you can take the train to Lucca). A bike ride on the historic city walls offers magnificent views of churches and towers that rise above the countless roofs of the city.

Afterwards, you will continue to Lake Massacciuccoli (also called Lake of Giacomo Puccini) with stunning views of the sea and Pisa with its Court of Miracles (“Piazza dei Miracoli” – Leaning Tower).

First, the bike path leads you along the river Arno. Many fertile fields line your way and you will continue your tour through the Pisan hills, on whose gentle slopes sweet wines, olives and juicy peaches grow. You will see small medieval villages located on the hilltops and soon you will have reached today’s destination, the spa town Casciana Terme.

Today, you will cycle on beautiful trails through vineyards and rolling hills to San Gimignano. On your way, you will see images of the original Tuscany as they have been painted many times.

Just before you reach today’s destination, the silhouettes of the famous medieval towers appear in front of you. Each aristocratic family once had their own tower here – and these towers still dominate the townscape.

The beautiful Tuscan landscape on today‘s stage makes you forget the small climbs on the route. Once you reach the small fortified village of Monteriggioni, you will feel as if you were in the Middle Ages. Today’s highlight undoubtedly is the architectonic paradise of Siena.

Enjoy stunning views over the vineyards from a beautiful mountain road. Take a break in the stone village of Vagliali and enjoy a delicious Italian cappuccino before cycling along a white road through vineyards and deciduous forests to Radda. Recharge your batteries for lunch with a typical plate of pasta and soak up the atmosphere of this gem of a village before continuing your tour to Castellina in the heart of Chianti.

On the last day of cycling, you will ride across a plateau with stunning views and then through rolling hills to Greve with its charming old town. The capital of Tuscany is getting closer and closer, and you will cycle comfortably down a long descent to the Ponte Vecchio. You are sure to have found your favourite Tuscan wine during the week. Treat yourself to another glass at the end of your trip in beautiful Florence.
