Once the tour is booked, you can go to the rental point to pick up the bicycles and start the experience with virtual navigation.
The e-bike loop tour starts in Pienza and measures about 26 km with 350 m of positive elevation gain: medium-easy level. The route alternates secondary roads, paved sections, about 6 km of state road, and short paths. Some sections are open to vehicular traffic and it is therefore important to have good confidence with the bicycle and feel safe on shared roads.
The itinerary crosses the landscapes of Val d'Orcia among estates, open fields, and panoramic viewpoints, also passing near a famous location from the film Gladiator.
The main stop is Bagno Vignoni, a thermal village famous for the large water basin in the center of the square. During the return towards Pienza, the route passes near the Cappella di Vitaleta. The road alternates between asphalt, secondary roads, dirt roads, and short easy gravel paths.

What to expect
10m
This landscape entered the world's imagination with Ridley Scott's Gladiator. The dream of the Elysian Fields was filmed in the Terrapille fields, when Massimo brushes past the wheat returning ideally to the family. The scene did not reconstruct ancient Tuscany: it was chosen to evoke memory, peace, and return home.
Pieve di Corsignano
Pass by
Before Corsignano became Pienza, this parish was the religious heart of the community: here Enea Silvio Piccolomini, future Pius II, and his nephew Pius III were baptized. In 12th-century portals, look for bicaudate sirens, centaurs, and fantastic figures, a rare bestiary carved in stone.
Bagno Vignoni
20m
Bagno Vignoni is one of the most evocative villages of the Val d'Orcia, a UNESCO World Heritage site. Its heart is Piazza delle Sorgenti, a large 16th-century basin fed by thermal water that flows out at about 49°C. Frequented in the past by Lorenzo the Magnificent and Saint Catherine of Siena, it retains an atmosphere untouched by time. Not far away, the Mulini Park testifies to the ancient use of thermal waters to power mills carved into the rock.
30m
The Ancient Free Romans Bath are located at the foot of Bagno Vignoni, where hot waters flow between natural pools and travertine deposits. Known and used since Roman times, in the Middle Ages they also fed the mills of the nearby Parco dei Mulini. Today the place retains a suggestive atmosphere, between thermal springs, history, and views of the Val d'Orcia.
Cappella Madonna di Vitaleta
10m
The Chapel of the Madonna di Vitaleta, located in the Val d'Orcia, is a small architectural gem with a fascinating history. Its origin is linked to a legend according to which the Madonna appeared to a shepherdess in the 16th century, indicating the place where a church would be erected.
