Due to the weather, there was a short tour from Arco to Lake Ledro today. Everything was there. From wind to storms to heavy rain and finally brilliant sunshine ☀️

Great and very popular tour to Lago di Ledro. An absolute must for every mountain biker, with or without support.
Challenging climbs, beautiful views and beautiful scenery.
The obligatory thunderstorm caught us driving down, and most of the dirt came from below 😄. It doesn't matter, it's part of it.

Today a great tour to the Ledro 😍, the first time that I enjoyed a descent, up the mountain, tarred and gravel - always a view of the lake, then further through small towns along the river to the Ledro 😍, then the descent a dream, short stop and then to the expo and registration for tomorrow's race 👍🚲🍀😍

We had a lovely hike to Lake Ledro. From our campsite, we went via Riva up the old Ponale road to Lake Ledro. We stopped for a bit of refreshment at the "Ponale Alto Belvedere" to help us tackle the somewhat steeper climbs.
We returned via Riva and Torbole to Arco.

Beautiful tour, starting in Arco, where we took the Sarce cycle path to the lake and then turned right towards Riva del Garda. From Riva we then took the Ponale, this old lakeside road reserved for hikers and cyclists with fantastic views of the lake and Riva. We then turned towards Lake Ledro and sprinkled one or two beautiful trails …

Unfortunately, the Ponale road is closed until mid-March. The alternative route (up to the right at the abandoned hotel) is partly impassable and incredibly steep "S 5"
