Around lake Garda

Arrival at Lake Garda in Desenzano or Sirmione, tour information and bike handover (if booked) in the late afternoon. A first evening stroll in the old town centre is a good idea.

Gently undulating, you cycle through the Lugana wine-growing region to the banks of the Mincio. This river takes you to the historic fortress of Peschiera and back to Lake Garda. For a few kilometres, the cycle path runs directly along the lakeshore and later takes you a little further inland. You cycle through apple orchards and the vineyards of Bardolino back to the shore, which you follow under shady pine trees to the charming lakeside town of Garda.

You leave the shore in the direction of the Adige Valley. Here you can once again enjoy marvellous views over the lake and follow the cycle route through olive groves and vineyards. You then cycle leisurely northwards along the Adige cycle path, always accompanied by countless fruit trees. You leave the river again in Mori and cycle over the Passo san Giovanni to Torbole or on to Riva. Shortly before you reach Lake Garda again, you are treated to another breathtaking view over the lake and the Sarca Valley.

One of the largest rivers in Trentino is the Sarca. You follow it on a well-maintained cycle path from Torbole into the valley to Pietramurata. The village is surrounded by the highest rock faces of the Lake Garda mountains and offers fantastic views. Enjoy the tranquillity of this nature park and pay a visit to the fortress of Arco before returning to the shores of Lake Garda.

In the morning, our transfer will take you up to Lake Ledro. Follow the valley of the same name to the next picturesque Alpine lake. Lake Idro will now be your companion for a while. Its excellent water quality and marvellous mountain panorama will inspire you. The cycle path through Val Sabbia then takes you gently downhill until the mighty Lake Garda opens up in front of you again. Take a leisurely stroll along the flower-decked promenade in Salò and treat yourself to a creamy gelato.

The last cycling stage takes you gently undulating into the hinterland. Lugana, Chiaretto and Groppello, the typical and historic wines of Lake Garda, are produced here. When you reach the starting point of your journey again, you should toast to an eventful and wonderful cycle tour with one of these wines.

After breakfast, individual return journey or extension at Lake Garda.
