Km
indicates the total length of the route from the starting to the arrival point.
Duration
indicates the time needed to complete the route considered an average (in motion) of about 10 km per hour for the mtb routes and 20 km per hour for the road bicycle routes, as well as a tolerance depending on the type of the path.
Elevation gain uphill
this is not the difference between the highest and lowest points reached during the journey, but the elevation gain uphill.
This is the sum of all altitude differences from the point of departure to the point of arrival. In other words, the greater the elevation gain uphill in height and the greater the number of climbs that must be faced, then the path will be harder.
Difficulty
Difficulty is always a very subjective parameter. We tried to give an assessment that considers a level of intermediate training and a good propensity to ride on dirt roads or long climbs sometimes challenging.
% Asfalto / Gravel
indicates, referring to the different locations of the territory of Montaione, the area where the route is located.
Area

The path's graph, indicates the highest and lowest points reached during the itinerary, in addition to the mileage (in km), the various locations touched and where there is the possibility of obtaining water. In the latter case, Montaione Mtb Trail Area relieves itself of any responsibility in case of lack of water supply.
From Montaione you ride through San Vivaldo and its Sacro Monte (a religious complex with the monastery, church and several chapels with terracotta reproductions of the life of Jesus Christ inside them) and continue until you reach "Castagno".
Start here a beautiful descent with a first stretch lined with typical Mediterranean trees while the second part, wilder and barren, winds through the hills as far as the eye can see.
The landscape and nature will give you an unforgettable picture.
This long descent will help your breath getting ready for the strenuous climb ahead to Volterra.
Once in the valley, crossed the bridge on the "Era" river, there is a climb which after 10 non-easy-km will allow us to enjoy Volterra in all its beauty.
A visit to Volterra is a must, not just for a short gourmet meal but also because this little town, with its old buildings and traditions (once famous for the alabaster), is one of the most important historical, artistic and cultural sites in Tuscany.
Leaving Volterra we follow the signs for San Gimignano pedaling on a ridge with breathtaking views, to arrive again to Castagno and from there back to Montaione via San Vivaldo.
