The Tuscany Val d’Orcia Cycling Tour is the perfect way to experience the best of Tuscan scenery, food, and culture in an efficient cycling trip.

The Tuscany Val d’Orcia Cycling Tour begins Buonconvento, a historically rich medieval town. After exploring the town, you’ll be transferred to the farmhouse B&B that will serve as home for the next four nights. Indulge in the first of your delicious Tuscan dinners and relax in the spa-like accommodations before the first day of cycling.

In the morning, a ride through the countryside to Murlo is as perfect as Tuscany gets. Cycling into the woods reveals the Crevole River, and trailing up to the cliffs takes you into a magical oak tree forest. From here, you’ll arrive in La Befa, where you’re treated to picture-perfect Tuscan views.

The next day’s ride takes you through Brunello wine country to the Monte Amiata volcano. The scenery is simply incredible as you pass perfectly-lined vineyards and olive groves. When you arrive in Montalcino, take a moment to explore the 14th-century fortress before cycling back to Buonconvento.

The final day of your Tuscany Val d’Orcia Cycling Tour begins with a morning transfer to Pienza, where you’ll cycle through some of the most pristine countryside in Tuscany. Halfway through the Orcia valley, make a stop in Lucignano d’Asso to grab lunch.

Finally, you’ll arrive back at the Pieve a Salti farmhouse for an evening of fine food and relaxation. In the morning, a transfer back to Buonconvento marks the end of your stellar Tuscany Val d’Orcia cycling adventure.
