A route which is almost entirely on the cycle path along the banks of the River Sarca, one of the best-loved in Trentino and busy all year round.
The cycle path from Torbole to Sarche is the most popular in Trentino: every year thousands of cyclists and hikers pass this way. The track starts from the lake shore in Torbole and follows the River Sarca upstream on a flat route which winds through the countryside. The stretch as far as Dro is particularly suitable for families with small children who want to explore Garda Trentino by bicycle.
Further information and useful links
  • After Pietramurata the cycle path winds through many vineyards: you are in the area where Vino Santo is produced, a Slow Food presidium of the upper lake. It is a sweet wine produced in limited quantities from the indigenous Nosiola grape and is traditionally pressed on Good Friday, or Venerdì Santo.
