Certaldo contryside ebike tour self-guided

A scenic circular route through the vineyards and olive groves of Semifonte, with a final stop in the ancient medieval village

Once you've booked your tour, you can pick up your bikes at our rental location and set off with our virtual guide to accompany you every step of the way. This circular tour begins in Certaldo and offers a scenic route of approximately 27 km with 400 m of elevation gain, ideal for those who want to experience the Tuscan countryside with a varied yet enjoyable and manageable ride. The route follows quiet secondary roads and rural stretches, alternating between gentle climbs and descents, open views of the Val d'Elsa hills, and long stretches immersed in vineyards, olive groves, and farms.

After departing from Certaldo, you quickly enter the hilly landscape surrounding the village, passing through characteristic, quiet, panoramic areas. One of the most evocative points of the tour is the passage near the Chapel of San Michele Arcangelo in Semifonte, with its sweeping views of the vineyards and Tuscan countryside that make this stretch particularly scenic. The route continues along gentle dirt roads and secondary asphalt roads, maintaining a smooth and relaxing pace, perfect for enjoying the area at your own pace.

Along the way, there are plenty of scenic spots ideal for a break or a few photos, immersed in an authentic Tuscan setting. The final section of the tour returns to Certaldo, passing through Certaldo Alto, the medieval village overlooking the valley and representing one of the most beautiful moments of the entire route.

The tour is available year-round, with a flexible departure based on your needs: simply book in advance and arrive at the rental point at the agreed-upon time. This experience is suitable for intermediate cyclists, and is perfect in spring and autumn when the Valdelsa hills offer their most spectacular colors.

Parking is available directly at the shop, and there are plenty of parking spaces in the area.
