Between San Gimignano and Volterra : The Program |
|
Day 1 : San Gimignano (circular loop) - 26 km. (10 offroad) - The first leg of this bike tour follows an itinerary along the scenic ridges of the hills surrounding San Gimignano. We'll be riding along the "Wine Road of the Vernaccia" (the famous white wine produced in this area) following scenic dirt roads across vineyards and olive groves. |
|
Day 2 : San Gimignano - Volterra - 37 km. (8 offroad) - During this rather demanding leg (starting and ending uphill, with an exciting 8 km. downhill on dirt roads) we'll be passing from hills covered with vineyards, olive groves and woodlands to a completely different landscape made of almost deserted hills covered on top by beautiful villas, ancient parish churches and millenary cypress trees. |
|
Day 3 : Volterra - San Gimignano - 34 km. (10 offroad) - Following a completely different route we'll bike our way back to San Gimignano riding panoramic (but sometimes steep) ups and downs to reach the "City of the Beautiful Towers". |
