MTB Routes Tuscany

Bikepark Monte Amiata

The Terrain and Trails

The park is famous for its "black gold"—rich, volcanic soil that provides incredible grip, even when damp. The trails wind through one of Europe’s largest beech forests, meaning you’re often riding in the shade, which is a lifesaver during the Italian summer.

  • Flow Trails: Smooth, banked turns and rollers perfect for building confidence.
  • Technical Enduro/DH: Roots, natural drops, and steep chutes that challenge even seasoned riders.
  • The Jump Lines: Well-maintained features for those looking to get some airtime.

Essential Features

  • Uplift Service: The park is served by a chairlift (Macinaie) that whisks you to the summit, though some enduro loops require a bit of pedaling to access the most remote sections.
  • E-Bike Friendly: Tuscany is an e-bike paradise. There are extensive "pedal-up" trails and charging stations around the base area.
  • Atmosphere: Unlike the massive, crowded parks in the north, Monte Amiata feels authentic and rugged. You’ll find great local food (look for chestnuts and mushrooms!) at the mountain huts.
