Italy - Lake Garda - Grade 4-5 - 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.

Our centre-based accommodation is a lovely hotel, a short walk away from the lake and the delights of fine Italian restaurants and vibrant night life in the local lakeside 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 canyons of Narancolo and San Martino. Descending on an ancient rocky tracks, Garda area has plenty of opportunities to test your downhill biking skills to the full, on endless technical sections, tricky twisty singletrack and loose switchbacks. This is where some of the great European downhill champions come to train.. .and maybe to enjoy the vibrant italian life too... it's real style, let's face it!
