83 km, 3,434 m of climbing: the ultimate Garda Trentino Bike Marathon challenge. Relentless climbs, 1,433 m at Prà dei Muci and a finish earned the hard way.
Ronda Extrema is the queen stage of the Garda Trentino Bike Marathon: 83 kilometres, 3,434 metres of elevation gain and a course designed for experienced, well-trained riders only. The race starts in the historic centre of Riva del Garda and heads inland via Varone, Cologna and Gavazzo towards Tenno and Ville del Monte, with constant views over Lake Garda. After passing Lake Tenno and the Terra Rossa and Bastiani forest roads, the route climbs towards Monte Calino and follows the Ronda Grande course up to Malga Vigo (1,079 m).

From here, the Extrema truly begins: remote gravel roads lead to Cadregoni, Naone and Duson, with the Adamello massif dominating the horizon. The Senter de Mez climbs to Malga Valbona and Prà dei Muci (1,433 m), the highest point of the race, running along the ridge of the Becco dell’Aquila.

Beyond the halfway mark, the course returns via Pozza Bella and Semont, but there is no relief: a final climb leads to the church of San Giovanni before the long run-in to the finish. From Coste the route drops to La Selva and Dos del Clef, then rejoins the Ronda Grande for the final kilometres back to Riva del Garda.
