Peschiera del Garda, Torbole, Desenzano: three amazing sides of the Garda Lake to be explored by bike

Lake Garda all Around by bike

The best of Lake Garda! This itinerary visits some of the most famous spots by the largest Italian lake and some off-the-beaten-track destinations, starting and finishing the tour in Verona. You’ll first discover the Southern side of the lake and its rolling hills, passing by charming lakeside villages such as Lazise and Bardolino. Then you will transfer North by ferry: here, the landscape is completely different, and high mountains surround you. The last days explore the hilly area between Salò and Desenzano, covered with large olive groves, and the iconic village of Sirmione.

You will ride on secondary roads with little local car traffic, on cycle paths and some short stretches of roads open to car traffic. The road surface is mostly paved. The route is mostly flat but with some ups and downs.

Highlights of the tour:

Riva, Garda, and the beautiful scenario of Lake Garda
The cycle path of Limone sul Garda
Salo and the quaint village of Sirmione
Beautiful Verona with its thousand-year history
The beaches and villages of Lake Garda
Ferry transfers, to enjoy only the safest routes

Looking for the best spots to enjoy the Lake’s panorama, the itinerary crosses some typical villages such as Colà, famous for the hot springs, and then heads North partially inland and by the lake shore.

Sirmione loop ride - 48km +200mt

The first part of today’s ride explores the southern side of Lake Garda, away from the crowds by the lakeside. The ride goes up and down rolling hills cultivated with various crops and crosses tiny hamlets and the charming village of Solferino.
