Cycling & Walking
There is plenty to do and see in this area if you like cycling and walking. There is something for everyone. Steep hills or gentle rolling landscapes.
This area of Tuscany is a cyclist paradise with routes for all levels of cyclist and mountain bikers. With nearby towns such as VOLTERRA, POGGIBONSI, SAN GIMIGNANO, CERTALTO, SIENA and FLORENCE. There are 1000 of km of beautiful Tuscan roads to enjoy and many off road trails for mountain bikers to explore.
Cycle the route from LIVORNO to PIOMBINO which takes you along 100km of Tuscan coast line or go from DONARATICO to POGGIBONSI through the rolling hills and vine yards. The nearby ascent of MONTE AMIATA (1738m) is a testing climb and has a welcoming little Italian cafe at the summit for some well earned lunch before the descent. Many cycling teams use the area for training and the Giro Italia 2008 had a finishing stage at SAN VINZENCO only 5km from the campsite. You could also take the ferry from PIOMBINO to ELBA (30min.) and cycle around this beautiful small Island.
There is a local bike shop in SAN VINZENCO who will hire good quality road and MTB bikes and will also supply maps of routes.
