リーヴォリ・ヴェロネーゼの峠・トップ8

an undemanding climb that is useful for reaching the top quickly and without getting too tired

The step before the descent

Tiring but certainly among the best routes. Mixed terrain, important health and my day was quite demanding, the weather was not favorable and I found everything from sun to rain and fog (or brought home wet clothes and a great satisfaction) I recommend the experience.

The Passo dei Lumini takes its name from the hamlet of San Zeno di Montagna with around 150 inhabitants. According to tradition, the name of the small village derives from the presence, in ancient times, of packs of wolves kept away with fires which, from a distance, at night, looked like lights.

This road can only be done uphill (there is a ban against cycling downhill). it's 8.5km at 9% 10 hairpin bends. be careful not to go too fast at the start as the biggest jolts occur in the last kilometres. The view of the Adige Valley and Madonna Corona is beautiful. Recommended period is autumn so that the trees do not limit the view of the beautiful panorama

Nice col for cycling. Wonderful view on top of Lake Garda.

Very beautiful landscape section that crosses the east-west watershed.

Stony stretch but not particularly difficult.
