Route

Starting from the lakeside towns, you’ll climb nearly 1,800 meters through switchbacks and technical terrain to reach the windswept Bocca di Tremalzo pass at 1,650m. The ascent is relentless but rideable on an e-bike, winding through forests and emerging into stark, dramatic alpine scenery.

The reward is the infamous Tremalzo descent—a technical masterpiece featuring exposed rocky sections, tight switchbacks carved into cliff faces, and sustained steep gradients that demand precise line choice and confident bike handling. This isn’t a flow trail; it’s a test of skill where loose rocks, sudden drops, and narrow passages keep you fully engaged for nearly 1,000 vertical meters.

Expect 50-70km total distance depending on your route variation, with stunning views across Lake Garda and the Dolomites. The terrain is remote and committing—bring spare batteries, tools, and be prepared for rapidly changing alpine weather. This ride combines the physical endurance of a major climb with the technical demands of expert-level descending. Not for the faint of heart, but unforgettable for those ready to take it on.

Route

This challenging loop around Lake Ledro combines technical climbing with exhilarating descents through the Italian Alps. Advanced riders will tackle steep forest trails with rocky sections, exposed ridgeline traverses offering panoramic views of the turquoise lake below, and demanding switchbacks that test both skill and stamina. The route ascends to high alpine meadows before plunging through dense beech and pine forests on narrow, root-laden singletrack.

Expect around 1,500m of elevation gain over 40-50km, with sections requiring confident bike handling on loose gravel and technical terrain. The e-bike assist is essential for conquering the relentless climbs, allowing you to save energy for the precision required on the technical descents.

Route

Experience one of Lake Garda’s most challenging yet breathtaking routes. This demanding trail rewards riders with stunning alpine vistas as it climbs and descends the dramatic slopes of Monte Baldo, reaching elevations above 2,000 meters.

Your journey begins at Tratto Spino, ascending steadily through Bocca di Navene and Bocca del Creer to the summit of Monte Altissimo. From these heights, the trail winds down toward Navene, passing through the scenic Prati di Nago, Dosso dei Roveri, and Dos Spirano before joining the picturesque lakeside cycle path in Malcesine.

he significant elevation gain and technical terrain make this one of the region’s most demanding trails, but the spectacular mountain and lake views make every challenging climb worthwhile.

Route

An exhilarating ride for experienced e-bike riders through the stunning landscapes surrounding Lago di Tenno. This challenging route combines technical alpine trails with breathtaking views of the turquoise lake nestled in the Trentino mountains.

Expect steep climbs rewarded by flowing descents, rocky sections demanding precise bike handling, and narrow singletrack threading through dense forests. The powerful assist of your e-bike lets you conquer the elevation gains while saving energy for the technical descents.

The route circles the lake before climbing to panoramic viewpoints, where the contrast of emerald waters against dramatic Dolomite peaks creates unforgettable scenery. Technical switchbacks, root-strewn paths, and occasional exposed sections require confident riding skills and good bike control.

Route

Tackle the legendary Sellaronda circuit in the Italian Dolomites on this challenging e-MTB adventure designed for experienced riders. This 50km loop circumnavigates the Sella massif, linking four mountain passes—Pordoi, Campolongo, Gardena, and Sella—with stunning alpine vistas at every turn.

Expect technical descents with rocky sections and root-strewn trails, combined with sustained climbs where your e-bike’s power will be tested. The route traverses high alpine terrain between 1,500-2,200m elevation, passing through the Ladin valleys of Val di Fassa, Val Badia, Val Gardena, and Livinallongo. Navigate narrow singletrack, fast-flowing descents, and exposed ridgelines with dramatic drop-offs.

Advanced handling skills are essential for the steeper technical sections, while fitness remains crucial despite e-assist—you’ll still log 1,800m+ of climbing. The loop can be ridden clockwise or counterclockwise, typically taking 4-6 hours of ride time. Best tackled June through September when mountain rifugios are open for well-earned breaks with panoramic Dolomite views.

This is big mountain riding at its finest, where technical prowess meets breathtaking UNESCO World Heritage scenery.

Start your morning exploring the charming lakeside town of Sirmione, with its medieval Scaliger Castle and Roman ruins. Take a stroll along the narrow cobblestone streets and enjoy a cappuccino overlooking the turquoise waters.

Head north along the lake’s eastern shore to Malcesine, where you can ride the cable car up Monte Baldo for breathtaking panoramic views. The journey takes about 45 minutes from Sirmione.

In the afternoon, make your way toward Verona, stopping in the historic town center (about 30 minutes from the lake). Spend an hour or two visiting the famous Arena di Verona, Juliet’s balcony, and wandering through Piazza delle Erbe.

From Verona’s center, it’s just a 15-20 minute drive to the airport, giving you time for a leisurely lunch before your flight. The entire route covers roughly 80-100km depending on which part of Lake Garda you start from, making it a relaxed day with plenty of scenic stops along the way comfortably before heading to your flight.
