Cycling day trip from Siena to Montalcino

Start your ride in the enchanting city of Siena. Known for its stunning medieval architecture, Siena is the perfect place to begin your cycling adventure. As you pedal out of the city, you'll find yourself traversing a mix of quiet roads and scenic tracks, with around 40% of your journey on smooth asphalt and a quaint combination of gravel and cobblestones adding character to your ride.

The route is fairly up-and-down, with a climb that will reach a peak elevation of about 573 meters. But don't worry, the scenery more than makes up for the leg burn. Rolling hills, sweeping vineyards, and perhaps a glimpse of the famous Crete Senesi—you’ll find it hard not to stop and take a photo or ten.

After about 50 kilometers, you'll roll into Montalcino, a picturesque hilltop town. Known worldwide for its Brunello wine, it's the perfect spot to end your day. Stroll the cobblestone streets, perhaps pop into a vineyard, or just kick back with a well-earned glass of vino. You’ve earned it! Cheers to an epic Tuscan ride.
