The Abbey Ascent Guided Gravel Bike Ride in Chianti

Embark on a daily gravel bike or gravel e-bike experience through one of Tuscany’s most evocative landscapes — a region celebrated for its historic gravel roads
Those who live for the physical challenge of the bike and the beautiful views along the way are invited to these ancient tracks — known locally as strade bianche.
These are part of Chianti’s soul and weave you along the river, up into the winehills and to the extraordinary Badia (Abbey) in Passignano. Choose from a gravel or a strong e-gravel to navigate through countryside that has inspired travelers and riders for generations.
This daily gravel tour blends the tactile joy of riding with the serenity of timeless place — a day that feels active, contemplative, and unmistakably Tuscan.
