Itinerary

Day 1 – Arrival in Maremma
Argentario – first contact with the journey
Arrival in the Argentario area, between Porto Santo Stefano and Albinia. First contact with the journey: sea, light and Mediterranean atmosphere. Check-in, free time and preparation for the start.

Day 2 – From the Coast to Saturnia
68 km | +1,600 m | demanding
The first real stage: leaving the sea and heading straight into the heart of the Maremma. Riding along the Via Amiatina, one of the most beautiful roads in central Italy, through Morellino vineyards and open landscapes. Arrival in Saturnia, with the option of relaxing in the famous natural hot springs.

Day 3 – Authentic Maremma and Hilltop Borghi
51 km | +880 m | panoramic and varied
The most panoramic and varied day. Riding through hills and vineyards, passing borghi like Magliano in Toscana and Scansano. The landscape is quintessential Tuscan countryside: soft lines, warm colours and open views stretching all the way to the sea and the Argentario.

Day 4 – Val d'Orcia and Montepulciano
52 km | +600 m (+900 m optional Amiata)
One of the most scenic stages. Optional climb to Monte Amiata for an extra challenge. Otherwise, a more flowing route into the Val d'Orcia – cypresses, ridgelines and UNESCO landscapes. Arrival in Montepulciano, with its Renaissance architecture and historic vineyards.

Day 5 – Entering Umbria
58 km | +670 m | relaxed
A new region, a new atmosphere. Riding along Lago Trasimeno, with more relaxed and panoramic stretches. Passing through less touristy, more authentic borghi like Corciano.

Day 6 – Towards the Apennines
65 km | +700 m | character stage
The stage with the most character. Riding towards Gubbio, one of Italy's most fascinating medieval cities. Progressive climb to the Apennine ridge: the symbolic crossing point from the Tyrrhenian basin to the Adriatic.

Day 7 – Le Marche and the Gola del Furlo
47 km | +500 m | wild and rocky
Change of scenery: more rocky, more wild. Through borghi like Cagli and Acqualagna, arriving at the spectacular Gola del Furlo. A place rich in history, nature and tradition – the land of truffles.

Day 8 – Arrival at the Adriatic
50 km | +300 m | finale
The last stage, with arrival at the sea. Following the historic Via Flaminia through natural landscapes and historic sites to Fano. Final arrival under the Arco d'Augusto: the other side of Italy.
