Here in southern Tuscany we have Monte Amiata , 1800 meters altitude. Marco call the Italian Mont Ventoux because there are many similar characteristic. First of all a mountain surrounded by shorter hills, tuscan hill here around: Montepulciano, Pienza, Radicofani, Montalcino ( Ventoux is a mountain surrounded by Provence shorter hills)
Tuscany and Provence, both a beautiful area to visit, that really worth the visit for scenry, food and wine, history.
The other big likeness is the long and not very steep climb, and both top have 3 roads to climb the top.
But we regret our Monte Amiata is not so famous for cycling! Maybe we need giro d’Italia come here soon. This is a big ride for the local race bikers.
cicloposse propose the bike ride : from Pienza to the top – Vetta Amiata – is 47 km distance
Start with a nice downhill with breathtaking view of Val d’orcia , then about 20 km very gentle rolling hills, almost flat. At km 21 start the climb, at beginning very gentle, then steeper
The uphill is 26 km long. see the elevation gain! we wait for you.
