Private bike tour in Val d’Elsa, Monteriggioni, Chianti – Rudy Cucini Nature Guide

Description

The Castle of Monteriggioni,the only castle built by the Sienese during the long conflict between Siena and Florence, mentioned by Dante Alighieri in the Divine Comedy.
Colle Val d’Elsa, the location of the battle which culminated in the Florentine win against the Sienese, the birthplace of Arnolfo di Cambio, the town of paper mills and crystal factories, the true ancient commercial driving force in Val d’Elsa.
San Gimignano, the town of saffron and Vernaccia, the city of one hundred towers where tourism, nature, art and history are the background to the daily life of the inhabitants.
Casole d’Elsa, a romantic village between Colle Val d’Elsa, Volterra and San Gimignano, where life always flows slower than elsewhere.
The Via Francigena, coming from the north, crossed the Val d’Elsa before reaching Siena through the old Pian del Lago swamp, which was subsequently reclaimed.

The Val d’Elsa between Siena and Florence, between Volterra and Chianti, a forced passage for every traveler or pilgrim. The cuisine and wine in this place are obviously a good opportunity to learn even more deeply about the charm of Tuscany

Biking in Val d’Elsa means being close to all the most characteristic tourist destinations. We can visit Casole and Colle Val d’Elsa, or visit Monteriggioni and easily reach Chianti for wine experiences. Our bike tours are completely tailored depending on your shape and interests.

If you are not a regular cyclist I highly recommend to get an E-Bike in order to enjoy the experience. However It is possible to get the tour with hybrid, road or regular mountain bike and arrange, lunch, wine tasting and other activities available in this area.
