This information is subject to inevitable variations, so none of these indications are absolute.

The first part is on asphalt. From the lake car park, you proceed towards the town centre, passing by Castèl Terlago and the church. Then, you take the narrow route that leads out of Terlago and continue towards Covelo and Ciago along a quiet asphalt road with minimal inclines, perfect for warming up before the scenic climb from the village of Lon to Ranzo.

After Ranzo, you start cycling on a dirt road with a stunning view of the Limarò canyon, passing through Moline until you reach the area below San Lorenzo in Banale, traversing a combination of rural and dirt roads.

From there, you continue towards the hamlets of Andogno and Tavodo, then descend towards Villa Banale and Ponte Arche, where you can stop for a break.

Here, you start ascending towards the villages of Poia, Godenzo, and finally Comano, returning on a long dirt road towards Passo della Morte, the highest point of the tour.

From the pass, you descend down a steep dirt trail that turns into a fairly technical mule track, until you reach the Limarò cycle path, which emerges onto the last four hairpin bends of the main road leading to Sarche.

From Sarche, you pass through the countryside on the left bank of Lake Toblino, through the Nosiola vineyards, then cross the main road to join the promenade along Lake Santa Massenza and the village of the same name.

Once you have circled the lake, you enter Padergnone, ready to face the penultimate challenging uphill section to Vezzano, along beautiful but demanding dirt roads.

From Vezzano, you take the cycle path to climb the final 80 metres of elevation and quickly descend towards Lake Terlago.

Monte Terlago is connected by the intercity bus lines 205 (Riva del Garda – Sarche – Trento) and 261 (Vezzano - Ranzo - Terlago) to the other places in Garda Trentino.
