A timeless journey through the Crete Senesi and the Val d’Orcia
The historic Siena–Monte Antico line is one of the most iconic routes of Tuscany’s slow‑travel tradition: a stretch of railway that crosses rolling hills, quiet villages and untouched landscapes where time seems to move more gently. Aboard the ALn 668, the journey becomes a step back into the past, with panoramic windows and authentic atmospheres that recall the charm of Italy’s classic railways.
Leaving Siena, the train glides through the Crete Senesi, isolated farmhouses, open fields and white country roads, offering views that change at every bend. It is a captivating itinerary leading to Monte Antico, the gateway to the most rural and genuine side of the Val d’Orcia.
On the ground, the area offers villages, walking paths, seasonal markets, local products and small scattered initiatives—perfect for experiencing Tuscany at your own pace, without any organized activities. An opportunity to savor the deep quiet of a landscape that has become a symbol of Italy at its most authentic.
Travel Details
The ALn 668
The ALn 668 are among the most iconic and recognizable vehicles in the history of Italian railways. Entering service in the early 1960s, these light diesel railcars were designed to deliver reliability, versatility and strong performance on secondary and non‑electrified lines across the country. Their simple, robust and functional layout made them a cornerstone of regional transport for more than half a century.
Characterized by clean, essential lines and interiors that preserve the charm of classic railcars, the ALn 668 offer an authentic, panoramic travel experience, thanks to their large windows and the unmistakable sound of the engine echoing across villages and rolling hills. In Tuscany, these units served for decades along some of the region’s most scenic routes, becoming a symbol of local connections and everyday railway life.
