E-bike trails and MTB routes in Pontassieve: discovering the Bardellone

Dirt tracks, the scent of the undergrowth and silence: a few steps from the farmhouse begins the Bardellone trail network.

The Bardellone hill, partly owned by Agriturismo Tassinaia, has a network of mountain bike and e-bike trails through ancient woods, linking the farmhouse directly with the centre of Pontassieve. They are ideal for experiencing Tuscany in an authentic, active and sustainable way.

MTB routes for every level

The Bardellone network has options for every kind of rider:

1. Easy routes (leisure riders)
   Paved and gravel roads shaded by trees, gentle climbs and wide views over the countryside. Ideal for families and first-time e-bike riders.
2. Intermediate routes
   A mix of bends, climbs and descents deep in the woods, great for e-bike riders who want to enjoy the ride and the scenery without too much effort.
3. Technical routes (experts)
   Demanding single tracks for fit riders, with roots, steep sections and technical passages that test stamina and bike handling.

By e-bike from the woods to Pontassieve

One of the most scenic routes starts at the farmhouse, crosses the Bardellone and descends to the historic centre of Pontassieve: from the stillness of the forest to a lively Tuscan town, where you can explore the old streets or stop at a local trattoria.

With pedal assist, even the climb back up becomes a pleasant, panoramic part of the day.

Why an e-bike is the best way to explore

• Reach high viewpoints without specific training.
• Move freely along the woodland trails.
• Ride as a couple or a group, evening out differences in fitness.
• Get back to the farmhouse comfortably after a day outdoors.
