Overview

  • Once the tour is booked, pick up the bicycles at the rental point and start with the virtual navigation that will guide you step by step.

    This circular e-bike tour starts in Pienza and crosses the most famous landscapes of Val d'Orcia: about 24 km and 400 m of positive elevation gain, medium-easy level, through secondary roads, trails, and short more busy sections.

    Through hills, cypress trees, and estates you will reach the famous Gladiator Road, chosen for some iconic scenes of the film. You will then descend towards Bagno Vignoni, crossing open countryside and admiring splendid views of the valley.

    The route continues in the surroundings of San Quirico d'Orcia up to the Cappella di Vitaleta, one of the most photographed places in Tuscany. The last stretch gently climbs towards Pienza, among rural roads and panoramic views: an experience that combines nature, cinema, and historic villages.

    In sections shared with traffic, particular caution is required.

Activity itinerary

Pienza (Pass by)

We will visit the town of Pienza, located in the heart of Tuscany and renowned for its Renaissance architecture and splendid views of the Val d'Orcia. Often called the "ideal city" for its harmonious urban structure, it was redesigned in the 15th century at the behest of Pope Pius II. Its historic centre, a UNESCO world heritage site, is famous for its evocative alleys, splendid squares, and elegant buildings, including the Duomo and Palazzo Piccolomini. Pienza is also famous for its pecorino, a local delicacy.

Terme Bagno Vignoni (Pass by)

At the end of the tour, it will be possible to make a short stop at the thermal baths of Bagno Vignoni, where there are both free natural thermal pools and luxurious five-star Resorts!

San Quirico d'Orcia

  • 15m
During this tour we will pass through one of the places where "Gladiator" was filmed, along the famous cypress avenue: a scenic white panoramic road that appears in the first film.

Cappella della Madonna di Vitaleta

  • 15m
The Chapel of the Madonna di Vitaleta is one of the most iconic places in the Val d'Orcia, nestled among the gentle hills that separate Pienza and San Quirico d'Orcia. According to tradition, it was built in the place where the Virgin Mary appeared to a shepherdess. Its current appearance dates back to the nineteenth-century renovation by architect Giuseppe Partini, while the cypress trees surrounding it make up one of the most famous panoramas of Tuscany.

Bagno Vignoni (Pass by)

Bagno Vignoni is a suggestive medieval village in the heart of Val d'Orcia, famous for its particular central square, occupied by a large thermal pool fed by hot springs known since antiquity. Located along the Via Francigena, in the Middle Ages it became a renowned stopping place and hosted figures such as Saint Catherine of Siena and Lorenzo de' Medici. Its hot waters still contribute to the timeless atmosphere of the village today.
