Mountain Bike Holidays - Italy – Lake Garda |
Holiday Facts | ||
 |
|||
| Sheer peaks rise vertically from the vast lake, abundant vineyards fill the valleys, castles and cobbled streets abound - this is the backdrop to some of the most varied, exciting and technically thrilling mountain biking in Europe. For the mountain bike enthusiast, Lake Garda really does have it all. And we have the very best guides in the region to show you the best of it. Tour Highlights:
Overview Voted "Best Mountain Bikers Destination in The World", Lake Garda is certainly one of the most stunning places anyone could hope to explore by bike. The peaks, which rise over 2000m out of the Lake, are crossed by superb tracks and trails, providing enjoyment and challenge for all kinds of mountain bikers. We stay at the best 3 star mountain bikers hotel in the area, a place where you could easily bump into Cedric Gracia or Christoph Sauser, for example, as this is their favourite spot when they come here to ride and train. We’re just minutes from the beach and right amongst the restaurants and bike shops – we can also explore the best of the trails right from our doorstep. Sometimes we ride out, sometimes we take boats across the Lake to our rides, sometimes we use vehicles to get high into the mountains and finish right down by the lake. This trip is packed with variety. These tours have 2 guides to give extra flexibility (unless tour numbers drop below 8, then there is one guide). One will be the Italian 24hr Mountain Bike Enduro Champion, Carlo Argentieri - he lives in Riva del Garda and is a qualified instructor who knows the local area inside out. The other will be one of his most senior assistant guides – also multilingual and a fully qualified and experienced leader. Carlo works exclusively for CycleActive in the UK, and has been leading our tours here since 2003 - always with superb results and great feedback.
