A land made famous by the wine-making excellence of Brunello, the Val d’Orcia does in fact boast other hidden gems. The best thing to do is explore it on two wheels, and immerse yourself in this unforgettable landscape.

This itinerary offers a relatively short route, but, after a first leg of 7km on a dirt road, the ascent from Sant’Angelo in Colle to Passo del Lume Spento begins: as long as you’re relatively fit, you shouldn’t have any issues.
