Overnight in Bolzano
You’ll explore a hilly area where the beautiful lake of Caldaro is located. Expect some uphill in the beginning of the route, but no steep climbs: the path used to be a railway line and climbs gently. The green area is covered with forests and vineyards, with great views on the Alps all around. If you have booked the Food&Wine experiences, stop at a winery for a tasting of local wines.
Second overnight in Bolzano.
The bike itinerary goes South along the verdant Adige valley and crosses immense fields planted with apple trees and vineyards. Along the way, the village of Egna, an ancient market town with beautiful streets flanked by arcades, deserves a visit. Finally you’ll arrive in Trento, a city where history and modernity coexist perfectly.
Overnight in Trento.
The itinerary keeps following the bike path that flanks the river, heading South: the valley is spotted with many medieval castles. The route passes by Rovereto (If you have booked the Food&Wine experiences, stop at a historical coffee producer), and go West towards Lake Garda. What a great view right above Torbole!
Overnight in Torbole.
Torbole and Riva del Garda are located in a beautiful position in the Northern corner of Lake Garda among green mountains and by Sarca river, the main tributary of Lake Garda. Today you’ll ride by its waters and discover a green plain with crystal water lakes. If you have booked the Food&Wine experiences, stop at an olive mill and taste local Extra virgin olive oil.
Second overnight in Torbole.
Hop on a ferry and reach Garda! The cruise is slow and scenic, bring a book with you, and sun cream. Back on the bikes, after some kilometers by the lake shore, you’ll reach a canal and ride to Verona.
Overnight in Verona.
The ride explores the classic area of production of Valpolicella wine. It follows country roads through the vineyards, passes close to ancient rural houses and elegant Venetian Villas: some of them are nowadays prestigious wineries. If you have booked the Food&Wine experiences, stop at a winery for a tasting of Valpolicella wines.
Second overnight in Verona.
Breakfast, check out and Arrivederci!
