Mountain Biking
Description
A mountain bike tour worthy of its name requires more than a bicyle with patterned tyres, springs, shock absorbers and bicycle frames made from steel, carbonium or titan…that is to say, exciting routes and breathtaking roads! On Lake Garda, these are everywhere - the surrounding hills meet the needs of every mountain biker with their many paths, mule tracks, steep descents and challenging climbs.
The routes in Trentino differ in length and level of difficulty - some lead to the Sarca valley in the North, other routes to the Varone waterfall, to the Monte Baldo and to the Valle dei Laghi.
From the eastern shore of Lake Garda, a myriad of ways lead up to the slopes of Monte Baldo, down through the broadleaf and pine forests, and along the vineyards and olive groves back to the lakeshore. Various tours take visitors to the olive riviera, from towns such as Garda and Torri on Lake Garda back to the hinterland of Albisano and Crero, to name just a few.
Along the western shore, asphalt roads and gravel paths take cyclists from Desenzano to the Lombard hinterland and through the hills of the Valtenesi region to the towns of Padenghe, Moniga and Manerba in the North, among others. The area on the northwestern shore of Lake Garda is equally impressive with its routes that cover more challenging heights in the area of Tremosine and Campione.
Lake Garda is rightly considered one of the best places for mountain biking due to the variety of its landscape and mountain bike routes in terms of length and level of difficulty.
