Hotel (example): Hotel Velora

Riding up the impressive Via Ponale, you’ll arrive at the stunning Lake Ledro. Following the valley of the same name, you will come to another picturesque alpine lake, the Idrosee, that will accompany you for a stretch. Revel in its crystal-clear waters and breathtaking mountain views. The bike path through the Val Sabbia then gently descends, revealing the majestic Lake Garda once again. In Salò, enjoy a leisurely walk along the flower-lined promenade and savor a creamy gelato as a perfect reward.

Hotel (example): Rivalta Lifestyle Hotel

This stage leads you on gently hilly terrain slightly into the hinterland. Here the characteristic and historic wines of Lake Garda such as the Lugana, Chiaretto and Groppello are pressed. Then river Mincio takes you to the historic fortress complex of Peschiera and back to Lake Garda. For a few kilometres the cycle path runs directly along the lakeside and lateron slightly leads you into the hinterland again. Through orchards and Bardolino vines you return to the shore, which you follow under shady pine trees all the way into the charming lake resort Garda.

Hotel (example): Hotel La Perla

You leave the shore towards the Adige river valley. With this you once again enjoy the marvellous views across the lake and follow the cycle route through olive groves and vines. At the Adige-cycle path you then continue leisurely northward always accompanied by countless fruit trees. As early as Mori you leave the river again and continue across the Passo san Giovanni to Torbole or onwards to Riva. Shortly before you reach Lake Garda again, you enjoy once again a breathtaking view across the lake and the Valle del Sarca-valley.
