Biking

Tuscany often features as a stage of Italy’s three-week equivalent of the Tour de France, the Giro d’Italia.

Every so often the Giro comes close to Borgo Pignano while Tuscany’s famous strade bianche are the settings for many races including the famous, l’Eroica where cyclists riding vintage bicycles and outfits of various eras.  

The roads, paths and tracks around Borgo Pignano are suited for cyclists of all persuasions.

Enthusiasts can take road bikes and, if they wish, pedal for as much 150 kilometers along relatively quiet roads and through ever changing scenery. Others can take gravel bikes and ride on our own strada bianca which leads towards Volterra while the intrepid can enjoy the twists and spills of mountain bikes.

For those with milder aspirations, we have electric bikes with the power to flatten out hills.
