Where alpine peaks meet Mediterranean climate. Iconic climbs and stunning lake views.

Wedged between Lake Garda and the wall of Monte Baldo, Malcesine offers two very different rides from one doorstep: flat, fast laps along the SS249 lakeshore, or the long grind up Monte Baldo through hairpins and chestnut woods. The lake's mild microclimate keeps the roads rideable most of the year, and quieter climbs toward San Zeno di Montagna reward those who want to escape the traffic.
At the northern tip of Lake Garda, Riva del Garda is a gateway to the Trentino mountains, with the Passo Ballino, Passo Tremalzo and the balcony road to Lake Ledro all starting nearby. Riders can string together lake-level miles with serious climbing, and the Ponale cycle path carved into the cliffs offers a spectacular traffic-free warm-up.
