> Trek from Pienza to Montalcino in just 3 days
> Sleep in Bagno Vignoni and Castelnuovo dell’Abate
> We arrange your accommodation before, during and after the hike
The early morning sun rises over the cypress-lined hills of Tuscany as you lace up your boots in the Renaissance gem of Pienza. Three days of winding trails, thermal springs, medieval hamlets, and world-class wine await. This is the Val d’Orcia stripped down to its essence. No fluff. Just Tuscany at its finest.
This Intense Val d’Orcia Trek is a long-weekend special. It’s the same beautiful route as the Val d’Orcia Experience but with longer stages, making it ideal for those with limited time and unlimited energy. Start with a relaxing night in Pienza, then walk through golden hills to Bagno Vignoni, dip into the magic of Castelnuovo dell’Abate, and end in Montalcino, home of the Brunello. Your bags get transferred. Your accommodations are sorted. All you need to do is show up, walk, and soak it all in. La dolce vita, with hiking boots on.
