Prepare for a difficult touring bicycle ride on the Tour of Alto Garda for the Limarò Canyon and the Sarca Valley, covering 39.5 miles (63.6 km) with a significant climb of 3021 feet (921 metres). This ring tour typically takes about 4 hours and 15 minutes to complete. You will experience diverse terrain, from the unique green-turquoise waters of Lago di Tenno to panoramic mountain views and lush forests. The route includes a demanding uphill section to Lago di Tenno and over the Ballino Pass, followed by descents that may include gravel paths.
While the route often starts from Riva del Garda, it is a ring tour, so you can begin at various points. Much of the tour utilizes dedicated cycle paths, especially through the impressive Limarò Gorge and along the Sarca Valley. Be aware that some segments, particularly on the descent from Passo Ballino, might be unpaved or gravel, even though many surfaces are paved. The Sarca Valley cycle path is generally flat and easy, offering a more relaxed segment of the journey.
This tour is notable for its striking contrast between the Mediterranean-like shores of Lake Garda and more alpine environments. The Limarò Gorge is a standout feature, with a cycle path offering spectacular views of the canyon carved by the Sarca River, often described as one of Italy's most beautiful. The Sarca Valley itself is characterized by orchards, vineyards, and picturesque towns like Arco, providing a beautiful path along the river. This challenging yet rewarding route offers diverse topography and dramatic views.
