Ponale by night by emtb (with aperitif!)

Hop into the saddle of an e-mtb and experience the thrill of riding along the old Ponale road at sunset, just when the last rays of sunlight provide incredible light effects on the water. Then pedal to Valle di Ledro, where a hearty aperitif of local products awaits you at the Maso dell'Apicoltore. Finally, turn on your headlamp and enjoy the night descent back to the starting point.
