Abbey trails from Sant’Antim
The dreamy landscape south of Montalcino means that rambles around Sant’Antimo are among the loveliest in Tuscany. A waymarked trail links the abbey of Sant’Antimo with Montalcino on a gentle, 9.5-kilometre walk that reveals sweeping views over Monte Amiata and the Val d’Orcia. A far more challenging 18-kilometre trail connects the abbey with Bagno Vignoni, via the medieval fortress of Ripa d’Orcia. En route are views of the Brunello vineyards, the soft hills around Pienza and the looming presence of Monte Amiata. A guide is recommended for the longer hike.
