Montaione has probabely the most extensive network of MTB and hiking trails in all the Florence and Chianti area.

• The 6 trails organized by the Municipality of Montaione are maintaned by nearly 100 volunteers working day after day, year after year in order to let you enjoy our nature. All the costs (well... nearly) of the trail network are beared by the volunteers or by the land-owners. Very little money of the tax payers is spent on the project. We like our place, our nature and our village (and, of course, our wines) and we would like to share it with you.

• The trail on the Via Francigena presented on this site is organized by The European Association Francigena Ways and maintaned by a local non-profit association: Associazione Toscana delle Vie Francigene 

• The short trails in the nature protected area of the Carfalo River are organized and maintained by a private nature Company: Ecoistituto delle Cerbaie

• This site is home made on a voluntary basis and is maintaned by volunteers. No tax-payers money has been spent. The only beared cost has been the domain registration and it has been payed by a donor. We are no expert in website creation, please excuse us! :-)

Off-road trails are passing through private properties with the welcoming of the land-owners who granted crossing permission for the project. Please do not ride motorbikes or quads on the off-road trails and avoid entering in somebody's swimming pool! ;-)

In order to prevent the damages caused by motorbikes, sometimes you could find a chain or a barrier. If you are in a path marked with red/white signs you are allowed to enter while hiking or cycling. Please close behind you any gate or barrier that you found closed.

You can find many cafés and restaurant spread out on all the territory. A good excuse for a pause tasting our traditional products? :-)

In Montaione, you can visit LandHill Bike Rental and rent high quality MTBs, hire a guide, having your bike repaired or just stop for a chat with Franco, a professional mountain biker and guide handling the shop.

I hope you may have a wonderful sport holiday in Montaione!

Antonio.
