The cycling in Maremma has a special charm because it combines the benefits of sport to discover the wild nature of Maremma. There are more than 30 official cycling itineraries in the Maremma.
The best period for trekking and bicycle tours is from March until June and from September until October. During July and August, activities and sports are possible only in the morning or late afternoon.


From Magliano in Toscana one takes the provincial road S.P. 160 leading to Scansano passing through the Pereta village (8). The road climbs continuously uphill surrounded by lush vegetation and overlooking the imposing Maremma hills. From the centre of Scansano (18) one cycles uphill (direction Grosseto) clearing the hill after 1.5 kilometres near the aerials and the sporting facility, at which point one takes the S.P. 159. Shortly afterwards one leaves the “Scansanese” leading to Grosseto to turn left taking the S.P. 9 “Aione” in the direction of Talamone and Montiano. This byroad winds through the oak woods of Scansano to the olive groves, vineyards and tilled fields of Maremma losing in altitude with impressive crests immer lower until reaching the lowland leading to the coast. After 7.4 kilometres (30) one turns left. 1.4 kilometres downhill then a short climb across the vineyards followed by a stretch on the hilly crest surrounded by Morellino vineyards. After a plain descent the bypath joins the S.P. 160 where one turns right towards Magliano in Toscana (39). A possible detour: on the descent to Scansano instead of leaving the S.P. 9 “Aione” after about 7 kilometres just cycle to the end of it up to the S.P.16 where, at the T-crossing, one turns left in the direction of Montiano. Past the town the road acquires a wavy course on the S.P. 16 as far as Magliano in Toscana.
