About this tour
Pedal through the chalk-white badlands south of Siena on a guided e-bike loop that lets you tackle 26 km of dirt roads and quiet lanes at your own pace. Starting from Monteroni d'Arbia, you'll spend roughly three hours winding past isolated farmhouses and sweeping vistas across the Crete Senesi's distinctive eroded hills. A smartphone app handles navigation and commentary, whilst the electric motor handles the climbs—no fitness barriers, just rolling countryside and marked photo stops whenever you need a breather.

What to expect
You'll collect your e-bike from the rental hub and receive a quick orientation on the motor assist, app, and route before heading out. The 26 km circuit stays mostly on compacted earth roads that wind through undulating terrain—the landscape is sparse and quietly dramatic, with few people and plenty of breathing room. The app signals when to turn and when you've reached viewpoints worth lingering at; you set your own speed and stop frequency. Expect roughly three hours door-to-door, though that stretches easily if you linger over the views or explore the quieter corners.
Good to know
Bring water and snacks; there are no cafés on the route itself. The phone holder keeps your navigation visible, and a charged battery is essential. Public transport links exist nearby if you prefer not to arrange a lift. Infant seats are available; the terrain suits most fitness levels, though the tour isn't suitable for pregnant travellers or those with significant spine or heart concerns.
