This is a hilly area, offering shorter climbs averaging 5-6% grade.

Demanding ascent of Monte Baldo, along the old military road from the first world war – “strada Graziani.” The forests you go through are rich in rare plant life and animal species’. The descent which takes you back to the plain of Caprino is very fast and technical.

A pleasant ride south of the lake through farmland, gentle rolling hills and hilltop villages capped with medieval castles. Ride along the sparkling blue water of the Mincio River, through Solferino, with a stop in Mantova to see the Gonzaga family’s Italian garden. Then on to Borghetto, an Unesco World Heritage site and quaint, picturesque village where we’ll have great photo opportunities as well as coffee and gelato! The gentle landscape continues as you return to Garda Bike Hotel in Peschiera.
4. Parco Regionale della Lessinia: Difficult, 82 miles (133 km)
We take you to the plateau of Lessini, over 10,000 hectares ( 25,000 acres) containing a surprising variety of natural species, as well as historical and archaeological sites of inestimable value.

Garda Bike Hotel was terrific. The staff could not have been more friendly and accommodating. The rooms are quite nice and the hotel is very well maintained. The food at the hotel is prepared with athletes in mind: healthy, low sodium, and quite good. Not only would I recommend this trip, I am an evangelist of it.
