Around Lake Garda with Charm

Take a stroll through the historic centre and along the lakeside.

You cycle on gently hilly terrain through the wine-growing area of Lugana to the shores of the river Mincio. This river 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. 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.

You leave the shore towards the Adige river valley. With this you once again enjnoy 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.

One of the largest rivers in the Trentino is the river Sarca. You follow it along a best-designed cycle path from Torbole into the valley until Pietramurata. The village is surrounded by the highest Lake Garda mountainsides and offers a fantastic view. Enjoy the quiet in this nature park and visit the fortress in Arco before you reach the shores of Lake Garda again.

In the morning a transfer takes you up to Lake Ledro. You follow the same-named valley to the next picturesque alpine lake. Lake Idro is your companion for a while. You will be delighted by its outstanding water quality and its marvellous mountain panorama. Along the cycle path through the Val Sabbia-valley you then always cycle slightly downhill until the mighty Lake Garda opens up in front of you again. In Salò stroll along the flower-adorned promenade and enjoy a smooth Gelato.

The final cycle 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 here. Once you have reached the starting point of your holiday at the latest, we recommend you raise a glass of one of these types of wines and toast to a wonderful and eventful cycling holiday.
