Tour data length and elevation gain uphill are indicative and may vary according to the instrument or application used for the measurement.
¹ Legend to difficulty levels of guided tours.
Legend to difficulty levels of guided tours

The  tour difficulty is primarily a subjective factor, determined by different elements and from never equal situations.

The most important of them is the effort: the more the climbs are high, the more effort is made.
But climbs are not all the same: they can be more or less steep and of variable length.

To get an idea of ​​how many climbs are waiting for you on a tour, you should check the "elevation gain uphill". The higher the "elevation gain uphill" is the higher the number of climbs you have to face.

Another element that can make a tour more or less difficult is the climate and in particular - in summer time - the exposure to the sun.
Doing the same path in autumn or spring with 20/25 degrees is completely different if done in summer with 35 degrees.

In addition to the temperature, even the humidity, the presence of shade and the road surface can increase (even in the worst cases) the difficulty of 20%.

For this reason, there is no a unique answer to the question 'how difficult is a course' is; everybody has its own parameters and sensations that also depend on your training  level, so the difficulty index is considered an indicative value.

Art and history

A tour that will take us back to the history of one of the most famous and legendary wines in the world: the Chianti.
In one of the most fascinating landscapes of Tuscany where every stone has a story to tell, among vineyards and old farmhouses, we will pedal until you reach the “Castello di Brolio”.

The Castle of Brolio stands with all its majesty on a hill at 530 meters above sea level from which overlooks a boundless landscape on the hills of the Sienese countryside, but its origins date back to the eleventh century, when Bonifacio, Marquis of Tuscany, ceded it to the monks of the Florentine “Badia” together with the nearby Church of San Regolo.

Since 1141 it belongs to the Ricasoli family, and despite the passing of almost 1000 years of history, in which it has been put to the test by wars and looting, still today it can be admired in all its splendor.

It is here that Bettino Ricasoli, in the second half of the 1800s, thanks to his scientific knowledge and new techniques of cultivation of the vine, creates a wine produced almost exclusively with Sangiovese grapes that today we know with the name of Chianti.

During the tour we will not miss a short visit to the Castello di Brolio and a taste of some excellent Barone Ricasoli’s wines.

Tour rules

Our guided mountain bike tours take place mainly on beautiful off-road routes, allowing us to reach places unreachable by any other means and to enjoy unique landscapes in contact with nature.
However, although they are relatively easy, they may have some more technical features that require a bit of technique when riding a mountain bike.

For these reasons, to participate in a guided tour, whether you choose to do it with a traditional or an electric mountain bike, it is necessary - in addition to being in good physical condition - to be able to ride a bicycle on dirt roads and to know the use of the gear and brakes.

  • Always choose clothing suitable for the type of route and weather conditions. The use of slippers or sandals is not allowed.
  • The water bottle is not supplied. It is therefore important to have a backpack to carry 1 or more bottles of water.
  • During the tours, the guide must not be exceeded.
  • Given the length of the tour, to participate, we recommend a good level of training, spirit of sacrifice and ability to pedal for long distances uphill.
  • Read also our tips to ride safely.

For this reason, a liability assumption will be required during the booking process of a guided tour.
