Bike
The varied and diverse landscape of Lake Garda is best explored by bike. Well-developed and safe cycle paths run through the southern shore area and are perfect for cyclists of all ages.
A trip by bike is a wonderful activity for the whole family on the many bike paths on Lake Garda. They are located particularly in the shore area in the south and east of Italy’s largest lake and spread out into the hilly hinterland and through the idyllic vineyards.
Therefore, there are extremely different bike tours on Lake Garda, which are suitable for beginners, children, e-bike users as well as experienced cyclists. For a bike trip with children, we recommend a route where all sections run on a separate bike path away from the main roads. The waterfront promenades can also get a bit crowded for little cyclists in the high season. A special highlight for children is a trip on a bike path on Lake Garda, where the return journey is made by ferry or boat. The prospect of a boat trip motivates not only the little athletes and in this way you don’t have to do the same route twice.
Wine lovers should definitely take a bike ride through the vineyards. Here you cycle from winery to winery, where you often get an insight into the production and where you can taste and buy the excellent wines.
The hilly hinterland in the south of Lake Garda has a lot to offer for cyclists and gourmets. The cycle paths meander leisurely through the picturesque landscape and lead through lively towns to remote and lonely areas. Here you can enjoy peace and a fantastic panorama. In the quaint country inns along the way you can enjoy excellent traditional dishes and then pedal again with renewed strength.
MOUNTAINBIKE – tough tyres on tough terrains
The Lake Garda area has a long tradition of heavy-duty cycling, with many mountain bike routes that are some of the best in the Alps! Exhausting climbs are rewarded with phenomenal panoramic views and cyclist-friendly refreshment stops. And if your riding skills are up to it, there is nowhere to go but down – the Garda hinterland is world famous for its adrenaline-pumping descents!
E-BIKES – the easy way
The e-bike is the best way to discover Garda Trentino at any time of the year. A vast network of cycle paths, a wide range of tours for all levels of difficulty and an extensive network of charging points make e-biking both enjoyable and fun! There is so much more to discover – and all without aching muscles: be smart, ride an e-bike!
GRAVEL BIKES – the allrounders
Lake Garda has it all – so you need a bike that can do it all! And with a gravel bike, whether you bring it with you or hire one locally, there are no limits to your cycling adventures! Especially in the Upper Garda, the Valle dei Laghi or around Comano, there are numerous side roads, forest paths and cycle tracks that are ideal for gravel bikes, while Lake Ledro can also be reached via the legendary Ponale road.
ROADBIKES – freedome on 2 wheels
It is not just the miles that seem endless to road cyclists, but also the cycling season, which lasts from February to November. Lemon trees and olive groves give an Italian flavour to the many scenic routes, there are plenty of steep climbs for an Alpine feel, while gravel roads add a touch of the famous „Eroica“ challenge: every mile is different! Road cycling in Garda Trentino is as dynamic as cycling itself.
