The Playground

Welcome to the bikers playground. Even though, there are no massive mountains, you can find any type of trail you are looking for. From flowy trails that are great for all riders to advanced, rocky and challenging trails. Most of them are purpose built by the local trail association. Make sure to make a donation so they keep on building and maintaining trails in the future. 

The town is now becoming a mountainbike mekka when mostly Swiss and German bikers head South in search of snowfree trails. If you are not staying in one of the local bike-hotels, you can avoid the big crowds but might miss out on the fun.

It gets very hot im summer when the beaches and coastline towns are flooded with mostly italian tourists.

The drive to this tuscan bike eldorado is relatively long from the south of Germany or Austria and Switzerland but well worth it! Also, close to Massa Marittima, you can find other riding locations so it won´t become boring too soon. Make sure to check out Puntone di Scarlino (Flowy trails to the beach), Tirli (mostly technical riding) and Piombino. You can easily spend two weeks in the area and never ride the same trail again even tough you might want to. You could even fit in a ride on Elba Island. Some local guiding companies offer complete packages that start and end at the harbour in Piombino. 

Who is it for: Almost anyone can find suitable trails in the area.

Who should avoid it: If you are looking for lonely trails in shoulder seasons, you might not be satisfied.
