Description Details Turn-by-turn directions Equipment Reports and closures

100 km of gravel between the lake, the Sarca Valley and the Cavedine Valley. An endurance route to ride at your own pace, with three timed segments along the course.

The MAXXIS Gravel Garda Trentino – Long is a complete gravel experience, designed for riders who love long distances, steady pacing and discovering new landscapes. With 100.4 km and 1,728 metres of elevation gain, the route combines iconic scenery with quieter valleys, alternating flowing gravel roads, secondary roads and steady climbs. The ride starts at Parco Miralago in Riva del Garda, right by the lake. After the first flat kilometres, the route heads inland through the Arco area and develops along the Sarca Valley, before climbing towards the Cavedine Valley, the true gravel heart of the course. Here the scenery changes: vineyards, open countryside and white roads invite you to settle into your rhythm and enjoy the distance.

This is not a race against the clock, but a personal endurance challenge focused on consistency and connection with the landscape. However, time is measured on three timed segments, adding a touch of challenge and motivation without changing the adventure spirit of the route. The final part gradually leads back to Riva del Garda, completing a long loop that celebrates gravel riding as exploration, experience and pure riding pleasure.
