L'Eroica was born in 1997 in Gaiole in Chianti, a small village in the province of Siena, where creator Giancarlo Brocci, together with 92 hunters of feelings and emotions - as he called them - started the first edition of a magical cycling event; an event combining challenging routes, magnificent landscapes and unforgettable refreshments in a unique way.
Eroica Montalcino è una ciclostorica su strade bianche che si svolge nell'incantevole zona del percorso dei 209 km de L'Eroica, a sud di Siena tra la Val d'Arbia, le Crete Senesi e la Val D'Orcia, dichiarata patrimonio mondiale dell'umanità dall'UNESCO nel 2004. L'occasione perfetta per chi è meno allenato per vedere gli incantevoli paesaggi del percorso lungo de L'Eroica.
Spectacular routes that will allow you to experience the essence of heroism on two wheels, immersed in an extraordinary landscape where effort and adventure blend in perfect harmony.
Taste the L’Eroica atmosphere on this simple route that takes about 3 hours and has a 700m altitude difference. The hottest point of this route: views of the striking landscape from Brolio Castle, the Chianti Classico vineyards embedded in typical Tuscan vegetation, the descent towards Pianella with views of Siena in the background, the characteristic […]
This route is the "gateway" to the myth of L'Eroica. Covering about 4 hours, in addition to the highlights of the leisure route.
A route that passes through the Crete Senesi, challenging but within the reach of many thanks to a length and a difference in altitude not excessive.
We are touching on the "legend", while still within reach of amateur cyclists, with route times that can stretch beyond 10-12 hours or more.
This is "L’Eroica" at its most authentic. With over 3,700m altitude difference and an average 15-hour ride, many finish after 10pm!
The great adventure of L’Eroica is no longer restricted to the first Sunday of October but can be enjoyed all year long riding on the permanent route.
