tour list: Lake Garda GPS Bikeguide 1


Nr. northern region Gardasee Nr. southern region
1. Bambini tours:
As the name suggests these tours are designed with children in mind, perfect for the first bike trips with the whole family. The vast majority of the tours follow the cycle paths which are usually asphalted. The routes are basically flat, and contain no major climbs meaning that an altitude profile is superfluous. They are up to 10 km long. Some tours can serve as transfers to the start and end points of other longer tours.
100 Torbole - Arco cycle path 150 Garda - Bardolino costal path
101 Giro di Linfano 151 San Vigilio
102 Giro di Brione   
103 Torbole - Riva costal path   
     
2. Taster tours - flat:
These tours are over 10 km but contain no or very few climbs. They are suitable for warm up tours and shouldn't be a problem for older children used to bike riding.
200 Giro di Torbole, Arco, Riva 250 Short Garda round
201 : Dro Shoe market   
202 Lago Cavedine, Lago Toblino   
     
3. Taster tours - mountain:
In order to make these tours enjoyable you need to have a mountain bike. There are some rough or technical passages but they are never so long that you will lose too much time if you need to get off and push. The routes have up to 500m of ascent and give a feel for the mountainous regions around Lake Garda. They are an ideal introduction to the joys of mountain biking for sporty kids as long as you properly motivate them and take appropriate breaks. The prime example is route 300 from Riva over the old Ponale road to Pregasina - the definitive dream beginner route in the Lake Garda area, a route I did with my son when he was just six years old.
300 Riva - Pregasina (DVD tour) 350 Forte Rivoli - Wohlgemuth Fortress
300 a Riva - Pregasina (DVD tour) 351 Val delle Grate

305 Malcesine Scenic Road   
306 Lake Ledro - Rifugio Al Faggio   
307 Lago di Toblino - Ranzo   
     
4. Half day tours:
Half day tours have roughly 500 to 1200 meters of ascent and take on average 3 to 5 hours depending on your speed. The border between half and full day tours is rather flexible as the average speed on mountains can obviously be very different; if you plan on taking long breaks, several of the 400 tours can become comfortable full day tours.
400 a, b Dosso dei Roveri (in parts DVD tour) 450 Monte Belpo double giro
401 Marocche di Dro - Braila 451 Forte Monte
402 Passo della Morte 452 Garda - Malcesine panorama tour

404 Dos Remit   
405 Monte Velo 1   
406 Monte Velo 2   
407 St. Barbara - Nago   
     
5. Day tours:
In this day tour category you'll find route suggestions with between 1200 and 2000 meters of ascent. As in the previous section, this means that the time needed will depend very much on the individual. For those of you who can climb upwards of 600 meters in an hour, some of these tours will be closer to half day tours.

6. Extrem tours:
Tours in the extreme category put enormous demands on your physical stamina and fitness and / or your technique. They contain in excess of 2000 meters of ascent or extremely long distances. On the technical side, the majority of the tracks are S2 and higher according to the single track scale.
600 Monte Baldo Supergiro
