1. FOR THOSE
SEEKING RELAX

If you’re traveling with family or simply looking for a relaxing ride away from traffic, the options are outstanding.

The Cycle Path in Limone sul Garda

Level: Easy

The experience: Known as the “most beautiful cycle path in Europe”, this pedestrian and bike path is literally suspended 50 meters above the lake. Riding here gives you the sensation of “flying” over the water. Starting from Limone, you can cycle safely while enjoying breathtaking views.

Our tip: Reach Limone by ferry and bring your bike with you.

2. FOR THOSE SEEKING
A CHALLENGE

Unique panoramic stretches

The Lake Garda Loop

Level: Medium / Difficult

The experience: The classic loop around the lake covers about 140 km. It’s an endurance challenge that takes you through three regions (Lombardy, Trentino, Veneto), passing historic towns such as Malcesine, Riva del Garda, Salò, and Peschiera.

Our tip: Start at dawn to avoid traffic. When you return, you’ll find all the comfort you need for perfect muscle recovery.

3. FOR THOSE SEEKING
ADRENALINE

If your natural element is dirt, Lake Garda is your playground.

Ponale Road& Tremalzo Pass

Level: Difficult / Technical

Ideal for: Mountain Bike (MTB) or full-suspension E-MTB

The experience: The historic Ponale Road, carved into bare rock in the mid-19th century, connects Riva del Garda to the Ledro Valley. It’s an engineering masterpiece and a world-famous gravel trail. But for a real challenge, experienced riders head towards Tremalzo Pass: demanding elevation gain, military switchbacks from World War I, and technical descents where control is everything.

The reward? A breathtaking panoramic view over the entire lake, worth every drop of sweat.
