Maremma’s itineraries

Many, different, for expert cyclists, for simple amateurs, for those who prefer to cycle without a precise destination, but do it simply for the sake of discovering a place, smelling its smells, appreciating its colors and stopping to observe and scrutinize the landscape. There are many marked trails, among the most popular those around Castiglione della Pescaia, one of the most popular tourist destinations in the Maremma.

Here you can follow tracks that from the coast will lead you to the discovery of the hinterland, more than one hundred kilometers between paved paths for gentle walks and MTB paths to discover small medieval villages such as Vetulonia, Buriano, Tirli. For those who prefer small trips, the Food and Wine Tours are in great demand, combining sporting activities, entirely flat routes, with the discovery of the area, visits to the most renowned local farms are planned with tasting of typical products such as the excellent cured meats, the delicate cheeses and the excellent wine of course.

After sunbathing and relaxing on the beach, go cycling to discover the area

If you have well appreciated the coast and the spectacular sea of the Maremma, perhaps on the spectacular Rocchette beach, lying comfortably on the seashore to regenerate yourself from the strains of the daily routine, but you want to get on the saddle of a bike and give free rein to your desire for sport, all you have to do is choose the route you prefer, you will have a wide choice.

We suggest a small stage race, for well-prepared cyclists, the Maremma Grand Tour, a circular route in the province of Grosseto. Approximately 370 kilometers long, it touches a stretch of coast, from Castiglione della Pescaia to Marina di Grosseto and then goes inland to discover the Metalliferous Hills and towards Monte Amiata, to go back down towards the coast and return to Castiglione delle Pescaia.

For enthusiasts, pure fun, healthy competition and the pleasure of exploring places of incredible beauty, breathtaking landscapes in an authentic and wild land.
