Description

The Trentino Lakes region is chock full of stellar cycling routes. In fact, the provincial government invested in cycling track infrastructure, so they now offer state-of-the-art cycle paths.

Big names have raced on these mountain roads for the Giro d’Italia. Its roads are set up with special signage every kilometer that indicates degree of difficulty, average gradient, height above sea level, and points of interest.

For those who are looking for something more casual, 400 km of paved cycle paths await, perfect for the whole family. For the MTB riders, head over to one of numerous bike parks in the area such as Val di Sole, Paganella Bike Park, Brenta Bike Park, Bike Park Lavarone, or Val del Diaol.

Adventures

738. Lago di Tenno - Ballino

A short loop for everyone around one of the pearls of Trentino: Lake Tenno. Famous for its colour, it's the ideal destination in every season.

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.

741. Dos de le strie

A technically very easy tour, starting and finishing in Tenno. Mostly on asphalt, the route can be enjoyed with a gravel bike instead of a Mountain Bike.

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.

750. Marocche (Cross Country)

A simple tour, accessible to many. Starting from Arco, the route covers both sides of the Sarca valley, offering diverse and beautiful views.

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.

751. Jurassik Marocche

A short loop, rideable all year round, with two short sections of interesting descent. You'll be immersed in a unique, sometimes lunar feeling landscape: The Marocche

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.

735. The Original Adrenalina

A Cross Country route around Monte Tombio returning via the "Pinza" descent: a very steep historical road that offers magnificent views of Riva del Garda

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
