I found that this climb actually belongs together with the climb to Monte Amiata given that after the summit there is only a (comparatively) short descent to the foot of that climb. The climb starts at the station of an old railway, which I suspect is no longer used. In terms of landscape, it is sometimes a bit disappointing compared to the Valle D'Orcia nearby, but it is still pleasant cycling. You cycle mostly through forests. However, the reward is the descent to Seggiano (a lovely villa... read more

I found that this climb actually belongs together with the climb to Monte Amiata given that after the summit there is only a (comparatively) short descent to the foot of that climb. The climb starts at the station of an old railway, which I suspect is no longer used. In terms of landscape, it is sometimes a bit disappointing compared to the Valle D'Orcia nearby, but it is still pleasant cycling. You cycle mostly through forests. However, the reward is the descent to Seggiano (a lovely village!) and then the climb to Monte Amiata, Tuscany's highest point.) It never gets really steep but it is not easy, mainly due to the asphalt, I think.

Ik vond dat deze klim eigenlijk samen hoort met de klim naar Monte Amiata gezien er na de top maar een (in vergelijking) korte afdaling is naar de voet van die klim. De klim begint aan het station van een oud spoor, waarvan ik vermoed dat het niet langer gebruikt wordt. Qua landschap valt het soms wat tegen in vergelijking met de Valle D'Orcia vlakbij, maar het is nog steeds aangenaam fietsen. Je fietst voornamelijk doorheen bossen. De beloning is echter de afdaling naar Seggiano (een prachtdorp!) en aansluitend de klim naar Monte Amiata, het hoogste punt van Toscane). Het wordt nooit echt steil maar toch loopt het niet vlot, vnl door het asfalt denk ik.
