A shady climb with gradients that were never massacring but were nonetheless significant, especially in the final stretch. Done on 13 June and at the moment the asphalt is quite uneven so care must be taken, also because the road on this side is also very busy with cars and motorbikes... read more

Salita ombreggiata con pendenze mai massacranti ma comunque significative soprattutto nel finale. Fatta in data 13 giugno ed al momento l'asfalto risulta piuttosto dissestato quindi bisogna prestare attenzione anche perché la strada da questo versante è molto frequentata anche da auto e moto

Climbing Monte Amiata from this side, the gradients are quite pleasant (the road from Castel del Piano has much steeper sections). You cycle in the forest almost all the way, so it should be fine on warmer days in summer too because of the shade. Downside of this is that there is not really a view from where the road ends, as it is surrounded by forest still. At the end of the road there are a number of restaurants/bars where you can eat something and get a drink. You have to walk up the last bit if you want to get to the actual summit of Monte Amiata.
