Italy - Lake Garda - Grade 3 - 4 - Mountain Bike Holiday

Mountain biking around Lake Garda offers some of the best riding and scenery in northern Italy, a distinctly varied adventure with breathtaking routes in true Italian style. The riding is very varied - forested trails, singletrack, old military routes, ridge top rides, high alpine passes, cheeky Skedaddle climbs and thrilling descents.

As we transfer from Verona or Bergamo airport, heading into the foothills of the Alps, we soon get a taste of the terrain and landscapes we’ll be enjoying in the days to come: towering limestone mountains rising up from the lake.

The trip is ideally positioned on the northern shores of the Lake Garda with access to the network of trails in the surrounding rugged mountains and canyons.

The grandeur of the scenery is truly breathtaking and the biking varied. Some rides will start directly from the accommodation whilst others commence after a short transfer to our starting point so as to gain higher altitude and enjoy the descents even more!

Our centre-based accommodation is a lovely hotel in the centre of Arco, a short cycle away from the lake and the delights of fine Italian restaurants and vibrant night life in the local town.

Amongst the riding highlights, the stunning views from the traverse of Mt Altissimo, blissful singletrack and dirt roads contouring the cliffs high above the lake, the incredible off-road routes through the woods on the slopes of Mt Velo, and quiet mountain roads across Mt Baldo. It’s a great place to spend a few days developping your biking skills and at the end of the day, chilling out in a charming Italian atmosphere.

Guided by Naomi and her team in the usual Skedaddle style, lunches are the fantastic picnics many of you have tasted in the Alps, the Jura and Sardinia.
