This spectacular round tour of about 45 kilometers and 1,000 meters in altitude takes you on a cycle through the main historic centers of Garda Trentino, its beaches and olive groves, to then gain altitude reaching the Tenno area up to the Ballino Pass.

With this tour you will witness wonderful panoramas, sometimes steep slopes, various but nonetheless pedalable surfaces, woods, medieval villages and the splendid and unmissable Lake Tenno with its turquoise waters, where we recommend a pleasant dip in summer.

The departure is at one of the parking lots in Arco and successively touches Nago, Torbole and Riva. It begins to climb near Varone with a decisive leap. The ascent continues, more gradually, up to the splendid Lake Tenno and Ballino, where just before the pass you make the halfway point and return, downhill, among the vineyards and terraces above Tenno, which can surprise you in all seasons.

Torbole on Lake Garda

Highlight • Settlement

On the shore at the foot of Monte Baldo, Torbole sul Garda rises, small, picturesque and immersed in a spectacular landscape. A good starting point for discovering the cycle path of the Sarca valley or going up to Nago.

View of Lake Tenno

Highlight • Viewpoint

Bathing lake at 428 meters above sea level with a bright turquoise color, immersed in a crazy setting. The lake is a turquoise diamond set in the green of the woods. The lake was generated following a landslide: its tributaries, the Rio Secco river and the Laurino torrent found a barrier and therefore the lake of Tenno that we know today was formed.

Arco Old Town

Highlight • Settlement

The density of shops with climbing equipment in the small town is a bit extreme.
