Adventures

753. Cavedine Valley

If the initial 10% climb on asphalt does not intimidate you, then this short tour will give you the opportunity to admire the tranquil beauty of Lake Cavedine.

759. Monte Velo

755. Drena and the chestnuts (Cross Country)

A short loop suitable for everyone, which leads you to discover the rural areas on the left side of the Sarca valley.

736. Tenno Tour

This is a not too challenging route through some of the loveliest villages in Garda Trentino which takes you through vineyards and farmland.

756. Passo S. Uldarico (Cross Country)

A short loop around the small mountain which divides the valley of Cavedine and its homonymous lake. With the exception of a short unstable section, the route is fairly easy going.

758. Malga Campo (Cross Country)

A tour characterised by the significant altitude difference. The challenging ascent, largely on asphalt leads to Malga Campo, on the slopes of Monte Stivo.

731. Anello Garda Sarca (Cross Country)

A long, less technical route kind of route, rideable throughout the year. It is very interesting from a landscape and cultural perspective.

748. Padaro - Salt de la Cavra - Laghel

A short, yet challenging ride around Arco, testing both your physical fitness and bike handling skills.

734. Malga Grassi

A classic of Garda Trentino with climbs to satisfy the most serious cyclist. The route is also suitable for the battery charge of current e-bikes. The first part has an insidious (but avoidable) descent
