Tour for experts. Not suitable for beginners. Given the length of the tour and some rather challenging uphill and downhill sections, this tour is only suitable for those who have excellent training and MTB riding skills. We recommend to take part in the tour with your own bicycle: better a full suspension mtb or e-bike.
Starting from the locality "Castagno" (a few km from Montaione) we follow the beautiful descent which, passing by "Mommialla" (a locality known for a source of sulphurous waters) will take us to the valley of the river "Era" from where we will begin the climb up to Volterra, one of the most beautiful and ancient villages in Tuscany.
Located on a high hill between the valleys of the "Era" and "Cecina" rivers, Volterra is one of the oldest cities in Tuscany.
Inhabited since the time of the Etruscans (from the 9th to the 7th century BC), it continued to be an important center of power even in the Roman period up to the Middle Ages.
For this reason, today, it has a rich heritage of historical, artistic and archaeological assets that are worth visiting.
The tradition of alabaster is also linked to Volterra, whose artefacts, in addition to representing one of the excellences of Italian craftsmanship, are exported all over the world.
After a break to refill energy we will descend again into the valley of the "Era" river from where we will begin a long climb which - passing at the foot of Mount "Voltraio" with its characteristic pyramid shape and which once hosted a fortified settlement - will take us back to the starting point.
