Indulge in the finest olive oil, exquisite wines, succulent citrus fruits, and delectable freshwater fish at each stage of your daily adventure.

Details about the cycling holiday around Lake Garda

The round tour starts at the southern Lake Garda in Desenzano/Sirmione. You then cycle counter-clockwise around the sparkling lake and experience not only the fascination of the water but also the beautiful regions that surround Lake Garda. Because the surrounding area can also be seen and, above all, tasted. Regional delicacies await you everywhere along the way.

The highlights of the Lake Garda cycling holiday at a glance:

• Fortress of Peschiera: Already on the second day our cycle tour takes you to a historical highlight, the fortress of Peschiera. It used to be a stone gatehouse in the city wall, today it is a fascinating gateway to the old town. The star-shaped fortress, surrounded by water, impresses with its old and romantic charm.

• Sarca Valley: One of the largest rivers in Trentino is the Sarca. The Saractal of the same name runs north of Lake Garda to the Adamello-Brenta Nature Park. Our tour also offers you unique views of the valley.

• The Alpine Lakes: Two other lakes almost steal the show from Lake Garda on this tour, we are talking about Lake Ledro and Lake Idro. The alpine lakes have excellent water quality and are located in a picturesque mountain panorama.

Worth knowing about the cycle tour in Lake Garda

After you arrive in Desenzano/Sirmione, cycle around Lake Garda in just eight days. However, since there is unfortunately no cycle path that runs directly along the shore, this route often deviates inland. But that's not a disadvantage at all, because it gives you a great insight into the regions that surround Lake Garda.
