Here in the Alta Maremma Toscana, Tuscany, you will find incredible uphill hikes, great views and grazing downhill. Consider the following mountain bike tours as proposals! The bike trails - far away from asphalted streets - can be changed, shortened or lengthened, depending on your preferences. Some bike tours start and finish at the Prategiano hotel. On these tours you have the possibility to meet the riders and hikers for a picnic lunch. If you would like to spend a bike-free afternoon, you can get a ride back to the hotel with the picnic bus. Bring your own bike or rent one of our mountain bikes. You will find at your disposal a space for keeping your bike, a place for bike-cleaning and help is always at hand for small repairs. Well indicated trails, detailed maps & GPS data are available.
Proposals for your Itineraries:
Day 1: Monte di Prata
After a long warm-up hike and a short, steep climb you will be rewarded with a fantastic view of the whole of Maremma, with Corsica at the horizon. Kilometers: 30, Altitude: 600 meters. (B/L/D).
Day 2: Anqua
You discover the impressive Villa Anqua, the Etruscan baths at the Galleraie and the picturesque village of Travale. You will physically feel the change from the Maremman wilderness to the Senese soft, hilly landscape under your wheels and in your body. Kilometers: 49, Altitude: 900 meters. (B/L/D).
Day 3: Cornate
This morning hike has you climbing not one, but two summits: Ritrovoli and Le Cornate.

Kilometers: 35, Altitude: 1050 meters. (B/L/D).
Day 4: Bandite di Scarlino Nature Reserve

Day 5: Chiusdino
Mountain biking on narrow forest trails you reach the medieval village of Chiusdino. There is a bar on the Piazza, and you'll stop for a drink.
