While mountain bikers prefer the famous paths up to Monte Baldo and Tremalzo, families and those looking for easier tracks will prefer to cycle along the well-developed trail network in the north of Lake Garda. One of the most popular sections is the one between Riva del Garda and Torbole, as well as the Adige cycling track. From the townhall square of Riva we proceed towards Torbole near the shore of Lake Garda, in part along the lake (caution, pedestrians!), where you can admire the unique landscape of this area, as well as the romantic promenade alongside the lake. The bridge at the outlet of the Sarca, where the cycle track leading to the Valle dei Laghi branches off, is another attraction you shouldn't miss.
In the centre of Torbole we leave the lakeside behind and take the Via Benaco road, which joins the main road. For about 70 m we proceed towards south on this road, then we take Via Pontalti on the left. This is where the steep ascent to Nago starts, past the Forte (with a great view on the lake) across the centre of Nago, uphill across the vineyard and to the Passo di San Giovanni, the highest point of the tour. From here we descend to the Val d'Adige, at the edge of the protected biotope Lago di Loppio. At Loppio, there is also a “Bicigrill” (a refreshment area). The cycle track proceeds to the centre of Mori, then to the San Biagio church and down to the Adige valley, where it ends in the Vallagarina cycle track (Trento - Rovereto - Verona).
