The CicloGustando routes are based on the legendary Granfondo Strade Bianche trails and offer every cycle tourist the freedom to choose how to experience the world’s most iconic dirt roads: from a slow and contemplative discovery to a longer and more challenging experience.
Always without a stopwatch, with just the right amount of time to observe the changing landscape, stop, listen and savour.
Here, you don’t race: you travel, cycling, admiring and savouring.
The single map below shows three routes that vary in length and difficulty but are united by the same philosophy: crossing the hills of Siena at your own pace, stopping when you need to and turning every kilometre into an experience.
The interactive map of each route guides you with icons that indicate places of historical interest, tourist operators, accommodation facilities and locations hosting special Ciclogustando events.

Not just Strade Bianche
Ciclogustando explores other forms of discovery, for those who want to change perspective, pace or means of transport, without ever losing sight of the essence of slow travel: observing, savouring, immersing oneself.
From the tranquillity of a trekking trail to the ancient cobbled streets of the historic centre to gravel adventures: each route is a different key to unlocking the same extraordinary door to the Terre di Siena.
Siena Centre Bike Route: An urban loop through districts, squares and monuments, cycling through the heart of the city and rediscovering its soul.
CicloGustando Trekking: A journey along dirt roads, trails and gentle climbs, where every step is accompanied by authentic views and silence.
CicloGustando Gravel: an adventure on mixed roads, dedicated to those who love to push themselves further and combine the freedom of gravel with the thrill of discovery (currently being developed and coming soon).
Rules and Responsibility
CicloGustando is not a race but rather a personal journey of discovery. The routes take place on roads open to traffic and participation is at your own risk. Caution, respect for road regulations and the use of appropriate equipment are strongly recommended.
