A journey through the main historic centres of Garda Trentino, its beaches and olive groves before ascending to the area of Tenno through to the Ballino Pass.

Marvellous panoramic views, slopes that can become steep at times, various types of surfaces, all of which can be cycled, even if not all typically on a gravel bike. This type of cycling can be interpreted in a broad variety of ways, while here it obviously reflects the particular nature of the area. Woods, mediaeval villages and the splendid Lake Tenno with its turquoise waters are the main features on this section of the route. The return towards Garda passing vineyards and olive groves is surprising in any season. 

The dialect term “Busa” is used to refer to the valley north of Lake Garda, home to Arco, Riva and Torbole.

The proposed route starts out from Arco, then passes through Nago, Torbole and Riva, but since it forms a loop, you can choose to start anywhere from one of these towns.
