Experience the GF Strade Bianche 2027!

GF Strade Bianche 2027 is one of Italy’s new cycling Gran Fondo events. It combines the beauty of Siena (a UNESCO World Heritage Site) with the splendid hills of Tuscany. Enjoy the professional organization and the friendly and relaxing atmosphere of the Strade Bianche. On Sunday, March 7, 2027, you will be able to ride the Gran Fondo Strade Bianche 2027 on the white gravel roads around Siena, Tuscany. The day before, on Saturday, March 6, you will see both the elite women and the men take on the very same white gravel roads.

The route of the Strade Bianche leads you through the most charming places in Tuscany. Starting from the city of Siena, you’ll cycle to Montalcino through charming villages in the countryside and over a few gravel roads. From the historic town of Montalcino, you go up to the ski area of Val d’Arbia, also known as Rapolano. From here, you continue your way back to the city of Siena. The finish line is at Piazza del Campo, where a huge crowd welcomes the arrival of all participants.

Stay with us in beautiful Tuscany and enjoy the medieval city of Siena. The Strade Bianche weekend is a celebration of early-season cycling on the white roads around historic Siena. The southernmost northern classic has only existed since 2007, but it has already established itself as a ‘must-see’ and a ‘must-do’ event.

The location of the hotel in the centre of Siena is absolutely perfect as you are within walking distance of both the start at the Fortezza Medicea area and the finish on the Piazza del Campo.

You were able to see how the riders of the Men’s and Women’s cycling elite handled the white roads yesterday – today it’s your turn! Ride either the 137km route with 42 kilometres of gravel roads or 87 kilometres with 21 kilometres of gravel. The race largely shares the course with the Women Élite event. The route is twisty and undulating, with no lengthy climbs, but with punchy hills, especially on the unpaved parts. The location of your hotel in the centre of Siena is absolutely perfect as we are a short ride to the start pens which are located in the Fortezza Medicea area and the finish on the Piazza del Campo. The two routes will have separate start times:

Medio Fondo: 07:30

Both routes start at Fortezza Medicea and finish on Piazza del Campo in Siena. You have two private feed stops on the route where you will be available for any mechanical assistance or extra nutrition supplies.
