To know

Highlights

Lake Garda and the surrounding hills provide the backdrop, while with your family you can look for medieval castles, visit fairy-tale villages, or spend a fun day among the colors at Sigurtà Park, an oasis of nature not far from the lake. The bike trails are kid-friendly, and there's even room to relax: the shores of the lake or the hotel's swimming pool are within easy reach!

 

  • The overnight stay in a special hotel, in an old renovated station
  • The delicious tortellini of Valeggio, typical pasta filled with meat
  • Bardolino, Peschiera and Sirmione: some of the most charming villages on Lake Garda

What awaits you

A bicycle tour designed for families: it combines easy pedaling with moments of freedom to discover the beauty of Lake Garda, including theme parks and wonderful natural areas. The stages are short and follow secondary roads and some sections of bike paths. You pedal along loop routes, which are on flat terrain, with a few easy ups and downs. On days 3 and 4 there are two transfers (one by van and one by ferry): tickets are already issued with a defined date and time and cannot be changed.

Volevo ringraziarvi immensamente per la bellissima vacanza che io, mio marito e mio figlio abbiamo passato. Ci siamo divertiti tantissimo . I parchi, i borghi , il panorama, le pedalate, tutto semplicemente meraviglioso. Mio figlio non voleva più tornare a casa!! Organizzazione perfetta!!! Non ci sono abbastanza parole per spiegarvi come siamo rimasti soddisfatti (molto più di quanto ci aspettassimo ) da questa prima esperienza con Voi, se non dirvi ci risentiamo anno prossimo per un’altra avventura. Mio figlio ce lo ha fatto promettere e si sta già studiando il catalogo dei giri!!. Grazie
