Strade Bianche Bike Tour
Ride the iconic Strade Bianche gravel roads on a two‑day adventure from Siena
Experience the thrill of riding the legendary Strade Bianche route with a two‑day bike adventure starting and ending in Siena — the iconic “Northern Classic in the south of Europe.” This immersive journey covers 180 kilometers, including 63 kilometers of the famous white gravel roads that define the Tuscan countryside and the cycling heritage of the Siena region.
Over the course of this self‑guided tour, you’ll explore the southern landscapes of Siena, venturing into the wild beauty of Val di Merse and the rolling clay hills of the Crete Senesi. The route follows some of the most scenic stretches of the Eroica and includes many of the finest gravel segments in all of Tuscany, offering a perfect blend of challenge, history, and breathtaking views.
Your adventure is divided into two balanced stages of 90 kilometers each, giving you the freedom to dedicate part of your day to cycling while still enjoying the charm of local towns, peaceful rural roads, and the unforgettable Tuscan scenery. It’s an ideal way to experience the essence of the Strade Bianche — not just as a race, but as a journey through one of Italy’s most captivating regions.
