This central Italian region has quite the history with its capital Florence being home to some of the world’s most famous Renaissance architecture and art. However, that’s not the type of art we are after on a Skedaddle mountain biking holiday, we seek out art of a more natural flavour, the rugged Apennine mountains!
Join us on one of our Tuscan mountain biking tours to experience this beautiful region for its natural wonder and memorising biking trails.
Tuscany is a world-famous cycling destination, iconic within cycling history, and certain regions stand out for their scenery, routes, and accessibility for different types of riders.
Val d’Orcia – Famous for rolling hills, cypress-lined roads, and picturesque villages, Val d’Orcia is ideal for those seeking leisurely cycling experiences in Tuscany or gentle road rides. Its smooth roads and picturesque landscapes make it perfect for beginners and riders looking for scenic, relaxed days in the saddle.
Chianti Classico – Vineyards, olive groves, and winding country roads define this region. Chianti offers more undulating terrain, making it ideal for confident road cyclists and those seeking a mix of challenge and scenery. Cyclists can stop at local wineries and trattorias, making it a perfect blend of cycling and culture. You’ll see all of this in our Classic Tuscany holiday.

Tuscany offers far more than scenic roads — it’s a playground for diverse cycling experiences that suit all tastes and abilities. One standout way to cycle Tuscany is on gravel, where you’ll leave the busy roads behind and explore quiet farm tracks, rolling country lanes, and historic paths that wind through vineyards and olive groves. Skedaddle’s gravel-focused Tuscany cycling holidays bring these routes to life, giving you a true sense of the region’s rich landscape and rural charm.
Another increasingly popular option is e-bike touring. Perfect for riders who want to enjoy the scenery with a little extra support, e-bikes let you tackle longer distances and rolling terrain with ease. Glide through Val d’Orcia’s iconic hills, explore the peaceful lanes of Chianti Classico, or take in panoramic views without strain.
For traditional road riders, there are also cycle tour options in Tuscany that combine gentle climbs with cultural stops, local food tastings, and leisurely progress through historic towns.
Whether you’re seeking adventure on gravel, effortless days on an e-bike, a challenging mountain climb, or classic road touring, Tuscany cycling holidays offer unforgettable experiences for every style of rider.
Tuscany’s roads are generally quiet and well-maintained, with smooth asphalt on main routes and peaceful, scenic country lanes. The famous ‘white roads’, the Strade Bianche, offer a more rustic gravel experience which is legendary within the world of professional cycling. The rolling Tuscan hills offer rewarding riding for regular cyclists, with quiet paved roads, undulating terrain, and the option to explore off-road gravel paths through vineyards and olive groves.
Tuscany enjoys a mild Mediterranean climate. Spring and early autumn offer ideal cycling conditions, with warm days and cool mornings. Summers can be hot, especially inland, while winter is cooler but manageable. These conditions make Tuscany cycling holidays enjoyable almost year-round, particularly for cyclists who enjoy active days, rolling landscapes, and the reward of exploring by bike.
Cycling in Tuscany is as much about the culture as the scenery. Riders pass through medieval towns, historic villas, and bustling piazzas, with chances to sample local wines, olive oils, and regional cuisine. It’s a richly rewarding way to experience Tuscany’s history and atmosphere for cyclists comfortable with rolling terrain.
