The climb is not to be underestimated, it is almost entirely cemented due to its slope, which becomes arduous especially towards the end. Once you reach the top you can opt to go right towards Tremalzo, or left towards Pregasina and Riva del Garda, stopping at Punta Larici.

Embark on the challenging "From Lake Ledro to Monte Tremalzo — ring tour," a mountain biking adventure spanning 27.1 miles (43.6 km) with a significant 4650 feet (1417 metres) of elevation gain. This difficult route, typically completed in around 4 hours and 14 minutes, offers breathtaking panoramic views of the glacial Lake Ledro, the crystal-clear waters of Lake Garda, and the majestic Brenta Dolomites. You will ride through diverse terrain, from well-preserved dirt military roads and gravel forest paths to cobbled mountain roads and some paved sections, all while surrounded by extensive forests and alpine meadows.
This ring tour demands very good fitness and advanced riding skills, as some sections are technically challenging and may require you to push your bike. The climb to Tremalzo, while long, is manageable for experienced riders, but be prepared for challenging hairpin bends. The descent features very steep sections with extremely coarse gravel and rocks, so ensure your brakes are in excellent condition and you are adaptable to varied surfaces. You can find opportunities for breaks and refreshments at points like Rifugio Alpini Passo Nota along the way.
This route is considered a legendary and cult destination for mountain bikers across Europe, partly due to its unique historical dimension. A significant portion of the trail follows old military roads originally built by the Italian army during World War I. Furthermore, the region is part of the "Alpi Ledrensi e Judicaria" UNESCO biosphere, highlighting its rich natural beauty and biodiversity. The combination of demanding climbs, technical descents, and ever-changing landscapes provides a truly thrilling and rewarding experience.
