ENDURO TOUR LAKE GARDA 2018
PROGRAM ENDURO TOUR LAKE GARDA OFFROAD 2018 Come with us to Lake Garda for a new experience. On forgotten roads we will make our way towards the south. Some of the mountain passes are probably unknown to you. Some gravel roades leading us to outlying mountain pastures and you can take some challenging routes under the enduro tires. Our accommodation ranges from typical mid range hotels to basic huts. On this tour we will be rewarded with breathtaking landscapes, remote mountain ranges and pure nature.

1st STAGE The Allgäu Valdidentro (approx. 375 KM) From Bad Grönenbach we head south through the Lech valley towards Tyrol. We stop for lunch at the breathtaking Aifner Alm. You will be fascinated by the wonderful view over the Kaunertal. In the afternoon we cross the boarder from Noth-, Southtyrol and Switzerland several times. Via Livigno we reach the highest situated montain village Trepalle. After two more mountain passes we get to our destination Valdidentro and stay in an idyllic mountain hotel in the middle of nowhere.
2nd STAGE Valdidentro Gargnano (approx. 250 KM) Today there will be plenty of curves and all the gravel fans will get their money s worth. No one probably knows the one-lane Passo di Foppa but everyone will love it. The lunch break on the bottom of the Croce Domini will give us the energy for coming off road parts. Exhausted but in good spirit we stay in a little hotel at the east cost from the lake garda. The fire is already lit and the spaghettis are ready to eat and with a glass of red wine we can relax
3rd STAGE Cima Rest Round trip (approx.130 KM) Today is all about the tread on your tires, there are not many kilometers to go but the ones we do are intense. We leave our bags in our hotel and can now master the offroad parts easily. The pizza in at lunch time will taste especially good after all effort. On the way back to our little hotel we ride through magnificent gorges which gives us the possibility to cool off in one of the many water crossings or the rock pools along the way.
4th STAGE Gargnano Monti Lessini (approx.190 KM) In the morning we explore the area around Cima Rest a bit more. We load our bags after lunch to master the demanding off road passages. There are two routes to choose from. Route 1 is cruisy and for good off road riders easy to handle. Route 2 is quite demanding and requires a lot of riding technique. The destination is the same for both routes: the Cima Piemp refuge, high above Lake Garda. In the afternoon we are going to cross the Lake Garda by ferry. After that we reach the region of Lessini.
5th STAGE Monti Lessini Cinque Croci (approx. 240 KM) After a short passage on a small but nice pass road we turn onto the high plateau roads of the Monti Lessini area and enjoy the amazing view this passage has to offer. Countless curves and passes guide us out of this area towards Sette Comuni. The ride up to Monte Verena awaits us. We make our way to the top on road as well as off road. Stunning views! We stay the night in a Refugio on the Passo Cinque Croci.
6th STAGE Cinque Croci The Allgäu (approx. 380 KM) The last riding day has a lot to offer as well. At the beginning of the day following the Val di Calamento we ride up Passo di Manghen towards Alto Adige (South Tyrol). Heading north we get closer and closer to our starting point Bad Groenenbach- peppered with one or the other highlight. Arriving in Bad Groenenbach we look back on to a truly exciting tour. The hidden treasures of Trentino and the Lake Garda region stay in our memory.
