A long, demanding tour, without a single metre of flat terrain. A continuous series of ups and downs where the climbs are quite tough. Quiet roads and very characteristic landscapes.

This itinerary proposes the climb to the Ballino Pass and the Durone Pass, then passing through Tione and the Valle del Chiese, before riding back up towards the Valle di Ledro.

A fantastic tour characterised by roads with little traffic and amazing landscapes. Along the route we encounter no less than five lakes (Garda, Tenno, Roncone, Ampola and Ledro). From a technical viewpoint, this route is quite demanding. In cycling terms, this route could be defined as a “roller coaster”, that is, a continuous series of ups and downs without even a metre of flat land, on an uneven terrain that stretches for over 2000 metres.

Once we reach Biacesa, we can return towards Riva del Garda using public transport, or along the Ponale for those with gravel bikes. Those arriving from the Ledro Valley can reach Riva del Garda in the same way, and begin the tour.
