More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You ease into a padded seat as the quad idles, the engine fusing with the morning wind that moves across the bleached clay slopes of the Crete Senesi. Trails thread between cypress-lined lanes and open ridges; the landscape seems to push you forward, the land itself urging the quad along ancient farm tracks toward a countryside winery.

History
The Crete Senesi's clay soils once supported smallholdings and transhumant agriculture; hilltop farmhouses and medieval trackways reflect centuries of rural life tied to Siena and Val d'Orcia.
Conservation
Stick to designated tracks to avoid damaging fragile clay soils and prevent erosion; small wineries in the area often practice low-intervention viticulture—support them by sampling locally.
