Embark on the Great Valdinievole Loop, a difficult road cycling adventure that takes you through the diverse landscapes of Provincia di Pistoia. This route spans 34.7 miles (55.8 km) and challenges you with a significant 4829 feet (1472 metres) of elevation gain, typically completed in about 3 hours and 33 minutes. You will pedal past sunny slopes, cultivated fields, and dense forests, enjoying rewarding views from spots like Vellano, which offers a splendid vista of Svizzera Pesciatina, and Avaglio, providing panoramic scenes of the Valdinievole.
Before you set out, be aware that while sections like the Malocchio Climb boast well-maintained asphalt, other parts of this challenging tour may be unpaved or difficult for a racebike. This means you might need to push your bike in certain areas, so excellent training is a must. Plan your ride with these varied terrain conditions in mind to ensure a smooth and enjoyable experience.
This loop is perfect if you are seeking a substantial workout on two wheels, combining physical exertion with scenic beauty. Don't miss the fun stop at the Big Bench delle Pietre Cavate, a unique photo opportunity along the way. The route highlights the natural charm of the region, making it a notable choice for experienced cyclists looking for a memorable ride.
