Description
Tegernsee - Lake Garda
Facts
This more sophisticated “starter tour” is suitable for fit racing cyclists.
Requirements
This tour is our most difficult transalpine-crossing for beginners. For its partially longer climbs we recommend a good physical condition. Nevertheless, enjoying the mountains and the fun of cycling should come before performance and pace.
Highlights
The journey via Monte Bondone, the legendary time trial mountain of the Giro d'Italia, the famous Trient, Lake Kaltern, the vineyards along the South Tyrolean Wine-Road, the region Oberbozen and the journey down to the Sarn Valley.
Route
Starting from Lake Garda via the Achenpass down into the Inn Valley and continuing over the Brenner Pass to Sterzing. Across the Eisack valley with a short trip towards Oberbozen to Bolzano into the Adige Valley and along the South Tyrolean Wine-Road to Andrian. Along the bicycle way of the Etsch Valley to Trient and after a last effort via the Monte Bondone to Sopramonte. From here along the Lake of Toblino and the final last stretch over Dro and Arco to Lake Garda.
