Is there a more iconic location for a cyclist than Tuscany? The rolling hills of the Val d'Orcia, cypress-lined avenues crisscrossing the horizon, and the famous white gravel roads that host professionals every year during the Strade Bianche. This is where cycling ceases to be a simple training session and becomes an authentic experience.
We invite you to the Giro di Toscana – a week-long cycling camp that combines a professional approach to training with a celebration of the Italian way of life.
Why choose Cycling Camp in Tuscany?
Our trip isn't just about "ticking off the miles." It's a carefully thought-out program prepared byEliteCore Track Team athletes who will share their experience with you.
1. Training under the supervision of experts
Whether you're looking for a serious push or want to hone your riding technique, our leaders will ensure proper pace and safety. We work on technique, climbing efficiency, and descending confidence.
2. Two skill levels: PRO and LIGHT
We believe that cycling is for everyone. That's why each of our routes is designed in two variants:
- PRO: For ambitious riders (average speed min. 25 km/h, full distances).
- LIGHT: For amateurs and families (approx. 50% of the distance, pace up to 25 km/h) – perfect for enjoying the views without the pressure.
3. Romantic Cycling 😉
That's our motto. Tuscany is a region to be experienced with all your senses. Along the way, there's always time for a perfect Italian espresso, lunch in a charming village, and souvenir photos in cinematic stills.
Date: July 19–26, 2026 – The Quintessence of Italian Summer
July in Tuscany is a time when the landscape shimmers with gold. Long days allow us to maximize our time on the bike, while evenings are perfect for rejuvenating ourselves with local cuisine and wine. It's the perfect time to get fit in conditions that motivate us like no other.
6 Days, 6 Unique Routes
Each day, we'll set off by bus to a new area to show you the most beautiful things Tuscany has to offer. All stages are loops (starting and finishing in the same place).
| Day | Route | What awaits you? |
| I | Pisa & Lucca | Classical monuments, the Leaning Tower and the walls of old Lucca. |
| II | Volterra & San Gimignano | Medieval towers, vineyards and significant elevations. |
| III | Siena (Strade Bianche) | Iconic white gravel and a test of character on the route of legends. |
| IV | Val d’Orcia | Pienza and the iconic "Gladiator View Point." The most beautiful stage! |
| V | Chianti | The heart of the wine region with Florence in the background. |
| VI | Recovery & Sightseeing | A little leg spinning and an afternoon in Florence "off the bike". |
Comfort and Logistics at level 4*
Our camp is based at the Hotel Toscana Ambassador in Poggibonsi. This strategic location allows us to quickly reach the best trails.
- Safety: Lockable bike storage and equipment washing station.
- Convenience: Breakfast is included, bike transport from Poland by bus, and on-site mechanical support.
- Support: Each group travels with a leader, and participants receive verified GPX files for Garmin/Wahoo devices.
What to take on a trip?
Preparation is key. Besides the obvious, like a well-maintained bike (road or gravel – we recommend 28-32 mm tires) and a helmet, remember:
- High-SPF sunscreen (the Tuscan sun can be scorching!),
- Appropriate insurance (EHIC + private policy),
- Spare inner tubes and a basic repair kit.
Tip from EliteCore: Tuscan gravel roads can be demanding – a wider tire is your insurance policy for comfort and a lack of punctures on the Strade Bianche!
Join us and feel the magic of Tuscany!
The Giro di Toscana is no ordinary trip. It's a week from which you'll return not only in better shape, but above all with a head full of memories and new cycling acquaintances.
Don't wait – the number of places is limited.
