The rough trails, with plenty of hills, put the most audacious bikers to the test.

All Mountain 

According to all MTB experts, Garda 

Trentino is one of the ideal areas where 

to use the new mountain bikes, the socalled 

“All Mountain”. All Mountain is 

an activity practised by those bikers 

who love long climbs but also beautiful 

singletracks and the most technical 

descents. Even if this is not extreme 

biking like downhill/freeride, it is practised 

by trained and experienced bikers 

who want to enjoy “wow” landscapes 

and trails, using a proper high 

quality bike. 

freeride/Downhill 

Garda Trentino is a favourite location 

for freeriders and downhillers from 

all over the world: challenging paths, 

immersed in the green of nature, with 

endless technical descents that start 

on mountain tops at over 2000 m a.s.l. 

and career down to the shores of Lake 

Garda. There is a wide range of possibilities 

and degrees of diffi culty: from 

the “heavy-going” downhill/freeride, 

with bike-shuttle services, to the “pedal” 

where the only help you are going 

to get is your own legs! 

Garda Trentino is the ideal place for unforgettable 

moments astride the saddle, 

thanks to its many and varied roads 

suitable for cycle touring and road cycling, 

alternating between the fl at and 

the hilly. Champions such as Chiappuc-

ci, Fondriest and Moser have pedalled 

along our roads. Many are the ideal circuits: 

the famous "S. Barbara" climb, or 

the climbs towards Tenno and the Passo 

del Ballino and the tortuous bends of 

Drena with the Marocche biotope.

you will learn how to manage difficult 

passages and to ride in control. 

If you love (not extreme!) freeride; 

if you like to barrel down amazing 

trails, immersed in a breathtaking and

then on to the "Sentiero della Maestra" 

trail, marked 667, which runs through 

another fascinating area, the Bosco Caproni: 

an area of great environmental 

interest, with a wealth of historical and 

cultural elements. Continuing along this 

skirts Monte Calino (1069 m) with only 

slight variations in altitude before arriving 

at the S. Pietro mountain refuge. 

From here we follow trail 401 down to the 

atmospheric medieval village of Canale, 

with its narrow cobbled streets, porticoes 

and inner courtyards. 

Stage 3: Canale di Tenno - Riva del Garda 

From Canale di Tenno, along trail 406 it is 

just a few minutes to Lake Tenno. Turning 

left here anticlockwise, we take the road

One follows via Gargnano from the centre 

of Riva towards Limone. On the right 

side, before the tunnel, starts the “old

pedestrian path; from there one can enjoy 

a marvellous view over Lake Garda. 

After the statue of “Regina Mundi”, 

where we find a natural balcony, a ledge

trek of history: the emperor’s fortresses 

1) Riva del Garda: the Monte Brione forts 

In 1852, the General Staff of the Austro- 

Hungarian Empire started building forts to 

guard the northern coast of Lake Garda, 

calling it the “Festung Abschnitt” i.e. the 

fortified sector of Riva del Garda. Mount 

Brione stands at the centre of this network 

of forts: Fort S. Nicolò (1860-1862) 

Tagliata del Ponale is a fortification tunnel-system 

consisting in a complex of corridors 

and trenches excavated directly 

above Lake Garda in a unique panoramic 

location in the years 1904-1918. It can be 

reached from Riva del Garda following the 

“old Ponale road”.

Bocca di Trat, the mountain pass connecting 

Valle di Ledro with the Lower Sarca 

area, was guarded by the Austro-Hungarian 

army. The itinerary starts at Malga Trat, 

reached on the paved road from Val Concei. 

The “delle vacche” (cows’) path departs 

from the Caret peak (1805 m), where 

remarkable war trench remains, barracks 

On Mount Altissimo, in the Baldo range, 

was settled the Austrian army with its first 

line in the areas of Malga Zures, Doss Casina 

and Dosso Alto. 

There are two options from Nago: a) from 

the town of Nago, drive to Malga Zures, 

where the Austro-Hungarian tunnels can 

be visited. From there, proceed on foot 

is close to the lake, Fort S. Alessandro 

(1881) is on the mountain’s peak, Fort Batteria 

di Mezzo (1900), Fort Garda (1907). 

The location also preserves the visible 

remains of the communication trenches, 

observation posts, combat trenches and 

military roads. The itinerary starts at Port 

fact of the fortification is the long flight of 

steps that descends from the third tunnel 

towards lake level. The steps end a few 

metres above lake level with four large apertures 

towards Lake Garda: two posts 

opening outwards for cannons and two 

observation posts. The rock complex is 

very intricate and includes arms and am- 

and a few tunnels are still visible. After 

Tomeabrù, one turns back towards Bocca 

Saval: this was the site of the Command 

headquarters of the Austrian sector, of a 

field hospital and the arrival point of various 

cableways from Campi to Malga Grassi. 

One reaches the Pernici refuge, after passing 

by various communication trenches 

to Dosso Alto, Doss Casina, from where 

one returns towards Malga Zures along the 

Peace Path; b) drive up to Prati di Nago, 

continue on foot to the peak of Mount Altissimo 

where it is possible to view the field 

defences of the Italian army. 

S. Nicolò in Riva del Garda and proceeds 

along the Peace Path. 

2) S.Giovanni - Cima Rocca Biacesa - S. Giovanni Church - Rocca Path (war tunnels) - Rocca Peak or the 

Sperone Bocca Pasumer - Biacesa 

The climb to the Rocca peak (Cima Rocca) 

is one of the most interesting itineraries for 

pundits of field fortifications built during 

the war, where you can admire the breathtaking 

view of Lake Garda: the tunnel system 

“Alto Garda” on Sperone. 

Starting in Biacesa, the itinerary climbs 

up to the Caregna junction and then turns 

onto the mule path posted as SAT No. 417 

up to the small church of S. Giovanni. By 

following the Rocca path you reach the entrance 

to the first tunnel; the tour continues 

along the network of tunnels up to the path 

that leads to the peak of Sperone or Cima 

Rocca. From there: a) one can descend 

north along the equipped path that ends 

on the western slope; b) from the peak one 

can return back to the entrance to the third 

tunnel and come out through the mountain 

along the trenches that join the previous 

route. Then one descends to Bocca Pasumer 

and returns to Biacesa.

100% pure sailing 

& windsurfing 

The winds that blow regular make every day the perfect 

day for a trip out in a boat or with the windsurf. The waves, 

never overly large, are suited to both experts and beginners. 

Lake Garda is renowned as one of the best Italian 

regatta locations, and is as good as any of the great international 

circuits. Riva del Garda, but above all Torbole sul 

Garda, are the most famous locations for “riding down the 

wind”, also thanks to the quality services available, with 

schools and equipment hire of the highest quality. Great 

attention is paid to safety, which is assured by an efficient 

rescue service. 

winds 

Pelèr or Vent del Sarca: permanent wind which blows 

from the north and lasts 12 hours, extending across most 

of the lake’s surface and joining or feeding other winds. In 

good weather it starts blowing from the evening until 10:00 

and 11:00 a.m. First it blows in the northern and middle 

part of the lake; at sunrise and in the summer months it 

becomes much stronger, extending across the whole surface; 

offshore it can reach the speed of 12-15 m/s. It usually 

brings good weather but, if it arises at the wrong time, 

as it can happen in winter, it brings bad weather. 

Ora: permanent wind which blows from the south, which 

usually develops in the centre of the lake between 12:00 

and 1.00 p.m., after the Pelèr drops, until sunset. It is not 

as violent as the Pelèr and in fact it never blows faster than 

8-10 m/s. This is the wind that has made the Upper Garda 

very famous in the sailing world. 

Vineza or Vinesa: this wind comes from the south of the 

lake; it is created by the Bora wind when it reaches Lake 

Garda coming from the Upper Adriatic Sea. It’s usually a 

strong wind and brings changing weather within the next 

24 hours. It can last the whole day. 

Balì or Balinot: it comes down from Mount Ballino, situat- 

ed in the north-western part of Riva. It isn’t very frequent, 

but in winter you can usually find it after a sudden drop of 

temperature. It can travel at a speed of 20 m/s and it often 

causes big waves - bigger than Pelèr’s. 

Ponale or Ponalot: it comes from the Ponale Valley in 

the west and blows in the evening and at night and occasionally 

in the morning. Along the eastern coast it’s not 

so strong. It joins the Pelèr and can sometimes bring bad 

weather; in this case it becomes violent and dangerous.

100% 

pure canyoning 

Do you need powerful emotions? If so, Garda Trentino is 

perfect for you: throw yourself headfi rst into the torrents 

which descend from the mountains towards the lake. Do it, 

but together with a guide from the canyoning centre, which 

organizes daily trips during the nice season. Canyoning is 

possible on Lake Garda and also in the Ledro Valley. The 

routes are only known to few people because the guides 

are possessive over them! Put on a wetsuit, a helmet and a 

harness, and brave the fast Trentino torrents which are immersed 

within the woods, fl owing between rocks to meet 

small lakes unknown even to those who live here.
