The Dolomiti Garda Cycling tour – “DoGa” is the best way to discover the Brenta Dolomites,the Sarca Valley and Lake Garda.

A cycle-tour experience suitable for cycle-tourists who like to enjoy places with unique landscapes, far from traffic. The tour is also ideal for photography enthusiasts and is designed with ad-hoc stops for both rest and photo sessions.

The starting point can also be reached by train.

Divided into three stages, the tour allows you to visit historical places (such as Castel Stenico and Castel Tenno) and places of natural interest: the Vallesinella waterfalls in Madonna di Campiglio, the Adamello-Brenta Natural Park, the peat bogs of Fiavé and Lake Garda.

Thanks to the support of pedal-assisted bicycles (eBikes), it is possible to cover the entire tour even if you are not an experienced cyclist. A tour suitable for all cycling and photography enthusiasts. Return to the starting point in a private van.

“”How I wish I could have my friends beside me to enjoy together the panorama before me!
I could have been in Verona this evening, but I was promised an admirable work of nature: the marvellous Lake Garda”
( J.W. Goethe )
