The first ride takes you to Bolzano, a city where Italian and Austrian cultures, language and food coexist and to Caldaro, a shining lake surrounded by mountains. The route runs then along Adige river on a safe and well signposted bike path. After a passage by the beautiful city of Trento, you’ll reach the Northern side of Lake Garda, a paradise for biking and water sports. You’ll spend two days there, the rides are spectacular! Then, after a slow and panoramic ferry to the Southern side of Lake Garda, ride to the romantic Verona, the final destination of this tour.
