Via del Vaiolo is a beautiful winding asphalted road that descends quickly between olive groves or vineyards and Mediterranean scrub from the village of Nibbiaia (275 m asl) to the coast where it meets the ex-SS1 Aurelia that connects Livorno to Castiglioncello.

Via del Vaiolo offers more than a scenic spot and is particularly beautiful in spring when the colors of the blooms add to the bright green of the meadows and trees and the deep blue of the sea in the background.

The road from the base (in Chioma, near the junction with the Aurelia at 20 m above sea level) reaches the town of Nibbiaia (273 m above sea level) in 5.5 km with about 250 m of altitude difference. Except for a short slight slope before reaching Aia della Vecchia, the climb is continuous: the gradient from 4-6% up to the Il Vaiolo farm reaches a maximum of 10-11% up to Poggione (the hardest part); after Aia della Vecchia it remains constant at around 5-6%. After Nibbiaia, Via del Vaiolo continues in the direction of Castelnuovo della Misericordia with a series of ups and downs. The road is sufficiently wide and winds mainly through greenery, resulting in a pleasant shade and panoramic view; in the summer months, however, the heat accentuated by the effort makes you sweat a lot. It is essential to have at least one full water bottle. In the small square of Nibbiaia there is a bar and on the opposite side a fountain; another fountain is located on via Sgarallino (in the direction of Gabbro) a few hundred meters away.

The descent, steep and full of curves, even challenging, is fun and allows high speeds, but requires perfectly efficient brakes, caution and attention, despite the moderate traffic.
