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.

Today's mountain tour led from Torbole past the oleander avenue toward Arco and Bolognano. From there, we reached Passo S. Barbara at 1,170 meters. Then, we descended along the southern peak into the valley to Loppio and finally to Nago above Lake Garda.

A beautiful but challenging circuit from Riva goes to Passo St. Barbara. The climb begins at Arco via the Valle del Sarca, Passo Ballino e ritorno, 13 km uphill and 1,100 m above sea level. It is on asphalt and the road is always lined with trees. There are always great panoramic views. Once we reach the top of the …

Today we wanted to do another bike tour and decided to drive from Riva to the St. Barbara pass, 1170 m altitude, and via Torbole back to Riva. The route is paved throughout but also challenging. It starts with a flat stretch of around 10 km to Arco and then you have around 12 km of ascent between 8% and …

The descent from Santa Barbara was really awesome
😁😁😁😁😁😁
This was also due to the fact that the leaves were not yet on the trees in March and there were such amazing views of the valley. Traffic was also very limited on the narrow street. Only 4 cars and 2 motorcycles came towards us. A super nice descent while the …

July 27, 2024,Gardasee: Von Arco hoch zum Monte Velo (1210m) - Malga Zanga für den Gaumen

Brilliant tour! We go up the shady side of Monte Velo, and thanks to the closed road, the cyclists have the south side to themselves. At the construction site, the bikes are lifted over excavator shovels and stones. The day's destination is Malga Zanga, where we can enjoy a delicious meal. Then we go over hill and dale, pushing and …

September 19, 2023,Von Riva del Garda — Monte Velo Tour zur Malga Zanga 🫏🫏🫏🦙🦙🦙🐔☀️

Nice tour to Malga Zanga via Monte Velo. You are greeted at Malga Zanga by donkeys, alpacas, various (loving) sheepdogs and a lot of curious chickens. There is really good organic home cooking here. The polenta with fresh mushrooms is super tasty and rich😎A tour there is also worth it, especially because of the magnificent views🏔️🌋☀️
