Located in Northern Italy’s Trentino, the Garda region is home to some of the world’s finest singletrack. Perfectly pitched, army grade footpaths have been repurposed to create a trail system of over 1,000km ranging from tram-accessed downhills to cross-country epics. Outrageous food and wine accentuates the omnipresent backdrop views of the lake making Lake Garda one of our favorite destinations.

Depending on the kind of riding you’re looking for, we can tailor an itinerary heavy on the DH, more on the X-C side or a perfect blend of everything. The tram-accessed runs off Monte Baldo are among the best in Europe; long and flowing. They really shine in the fall when they are lined with a carpet of fallen leaves. We’ll take a ferry to the other side of the lake, get a shuttle up Monte Tremalzo, and hit a number of cross-country circuits.

There are months’ worth of options in Lake Garda. The diversity of food and wine in the region are some of Italy’s best. Pasta, pizza, and fresh fish are washed down with incredible local vino Valpolicella. A perfect way to cap off another day of epic riding in Italia, living “la dolce vita.”
