After picking up the e-bikes at the rental point, the tour starts with virtual navigation that accompanies along the entire route.
The loop route starts from Volterra and crosses one of the most authentic landscapes of Tuscany, among hills, dirt roads, isolated farms and sweeping views of the ridges. The bottom alternates between quiet asphalt and sliding dirt roads, while the Hill Listing is pleasant to tackle by e-bike.
The route opens onto the Volterra countryside, with views towards Mount Voltraio and colours that change with the seasons. Among the most suggestive passages are Villa Palagione and the Borgo di Pignano, an ideal place for a break and some photographs.
The tour continues towards Ulignano, between smooth descents and panoramic stretches over the valley. A stop near the Villa of Ulignano completes the historical part of the itinerary, before returning to Volterra and the last climb to the starting point.
You can park near the store but we recommend you to take advantage of the parking "La Fortezza" a few steps from our headquarters.
Ulignano is a quiet and charming hamlet in the municipality of San Gimignano (SI), nestled in the hills of Valdelsa. Famous for its rural atmosphere and proximity to the famous turreted city, it offers pristine landscape views, rustic stone architecture and the historic Villa of Ulignano
The village of Pignano, nestled in the hills between Volterra and San Gimignano, retains the authentic charm of the Tuscan countryside. Of medieval origin, it was born as a fortified settlement and in the twelfth century came under the control of the bishop of Volterra. Among stone buildings, the Pieve di San Bartolomeo and splendid views of the Val di Cecina, tells centuries of history and rural traditions.
Mount Voltraio, overlooking Volterra with its 541 meters of altitude, is one of the most suggestive viewpoints in the area. On its summit stand the remains of the ancient Rocca del Monte Voltraio, a medieval fortification built between the 11th and 12th centuries to control the surrounding territory. Today the site offers spectacular views of the Tuscan hills and retains the charm of a place rich in history and nature.
Volterra is one of the most fascinating cities in Tuscany, famous for its extraordinary Etruscan, Roman and medieval heritage. Founded by the Etruscans over 2,500 years ago, it still preserves the ancient walls, the Roman Theatre and the majestic Palazzo dei Priori, symbol of the city. Walking through its stone streets you can breathe a timeless atmosphere, enriched by alabaster shops and spectacular views of the Tuscan hills.
