Lake Garda is the largest lake in Italy and at the same time the gateway to the "Dolce Vita". Experience the most varied landscapes of Trentino, Lombardy and Veneto during this holiday. The scent of the cypresses in your nose and the Mediterranean landscape around you make the bike tour unique. But culture and cities like Trento, Verona, Manuta and Brescia are not neglected either.
Day 1: Arrival in Sirmione
Arrive on your own. If you still have time, you can take a walk through the old town.

Day 2: Excursion to Trento, approx. 50 km + boat trip and transfer
Start your first day of cycling with a transfer by minibus to Trento and visit the old town with the cathedral and Buonconsiglio Castle. We continue along the Etsch to Rovereto. From here the tour leads west towards Lake Garda. In Mori, try the well-known pistachio ice cream at Gelateria Bologna. After a short climb, the descent to the lake to Torbole and on to Riva follows.

Day 3: Excursion to Verona, approx. 55 km + train journey
The transfer bus will take you to Verona. The city of Romeo and Juliet lures with its Renaissance palaces, the Roman arena and the many cozy squares. You will then cycle over rolling hills, past cypresses and vineyards to the southern shore of Lake Garda - for Goethe it was a "delicious spectacle", for the Roman poet Catullus it was an "eye star".
