Lake Garda - based in one hotel

Entspannen Sie am Ufer des Sees!

Trento, Verona, Mantua and Brescia.

Culture, wine and Lakes! This is a perfect mix to enjoy the “dolce vita” of Italy without having to pack the suitcase every day. Welcome to a cycle tour spoiling all senses: high arts and culture in the cities Trento, Verona, Brescia and Mantua – not only the renaissance palaces of the city of Romeo and Juliet invite to stay, you will also love the dome place and the antique forum in Trento and Brescia. Enjoy the flair of Piazza Sordello in Mantua. Then there is Lake Garda – precious blue-green – for resting and relaxing or enjoying a refreshing swim. Another way of pampering yourself is tasting the local wines. Great Italian wines grow here, e.g. Valpolicella, Lambrusco, Bardolino, Lugana…as mentioned before…„dolce vita“.

Itinerary

Information on the tour and bike fitting. We recommend taking a stroll through the old town.

The day starts with a transfer by minibus to Trento (old town with cathedral, castle Buonconsiglio). Then, you will follow the river Adige via Rovereto to Mori. From here, you will cycle westwards in the direction of Lake Garda. After a short climb, you will cycle downhill towards the lake in Torbole and further to Riva. From here, a boat will then take you down the entire length of the lake and back to Sirmione.

A minibus or train will take you to Verona. The city of Romeo and Juliet with its Renaissance palaces, the Roman arena, and the many cosy places invites you to stay for a stroll. Over gently rolling hills, past cypress trees and vineyards, the tour will take you back to the southern shore of the lake – for Goethe the lake was “a delicious spectacle”, for the Roman poet Catull “a shining star”.

Beautiful trails will lead you along the river Mincio southwards to Mantua. The thousand-year-old town of the royal Gonzaga family impresses its visitors with its art and beauty. The Castello S. Giorgio and the Palazzo Ducale, the Piazza Sordello with the house of Rigoletto, the cathedral, the Piazza Broletto with the old city hall, the Piazza Erbe with the courthouse palace, the clock tower, the rotunda of San Lorenzo, and the Basilica of St. Andrew are worth seeing. The train will take you back to your hotel.

Today, you will follow lonely roads, through vineyards, peach orchards, and kiwi plantations to Solferino – The place, where Garibaldi united Italy in the famous “Battle of Solferino”. On your way back to Lake Garda, you will cycle through the area where the delicious wines of Lugana are grown.

Today, you will ride your bicycle along the lake shore towards Cavalgese di Riviera and get some unforgettable views of Lake Garda. Then, you will follow the Naviglio Grande Bresciano (canal with bike path) to Brescia – a city of Roman origin with many more places of interest. The train will take you back to Sirmione.

The route

The terrain is flat to undulating. You cycle on cycle paths, minor roads and sometimes on country lanes. Please consider stronger traffic when entering and exiting cities.
