LAKE GARDA BY BICYCLE: EXPLORE THE MOST BEAUTIFUL CYCLE PATH IN EUROPE

Inaugurated in July 2018, the Garda cycle path, known as "Garda by Lake" but already famous as the "dream on two wheels," is the most enchanting in Italy and perhaps one of the most picturesque in Europe. A majestic steel walkway winds along the lake, precisely in Limone sul Garda, in the province of Brescia.
La pista ciclabile è un'opera a impatto ecologico zero.                                                        The cycle path is an eco-friendly project with zero environmental impact. So far, 280,000 lucky individuals have had the opportunity to ride it, and each turn reveals a new breath-taking scenery, making the experience consistently captivating.                                          At certain points, the path extends over the water, clinging to the sheer rock, offering cyclists a stunning view of the opposite shore.  Among all the itineraries, the most recommended is the one that leads to the picturesque Forra, in the direction of Tremosine and Tremalzo, on the border with Trentino. You ride along the shores of Lake Garda, with its palm trees and marvelous blossoms that evoke a more maritime than lacustrine landscape. Then, you begin to climb to an altitude of 1,800 meters, cycling on dirt tracks and passing through ancient tunnels.      Throughout the route, you will come across refuges and farmhouse accommodations where you can take a break, enjoy the panoramic view from above, and admire the beauty of the surroundings.                                  Note: Until September, the Limonese Consortium offers guided tours to enjoy Limone sul Garda every Tuesday and Thursday. It's an easy 15-kilometer route.
