THE JOURNEY OF OUR LAKE GARDA

This experience will be three days of amazing cycling around one of the most beautiful places on the planet, we will enjoy cycling through lush olive orchards and fertile vineyards that produce world-famous oils and wines, as well as the spectacular sites that surround Lake Garda.

Not about speed or distance (Approx. 60/70 miles per day), this relaxing cycle is also about the stunning surroundings, we will ride for approx. two hours before stopping for either coffee or Lunch, and we will have at least one night on the lake to enjoy a relaxing alfresco evening or food and wine.

There will be time for sightseeing around our destinations in the late afternoon/evenings, with so many old buildings and beautiful churches to look at, it will just enhance the experience of the trip, travel to these sites will be included but entrances fee's may be payable.

Or you can choose to sit in the sun and enjoy the local wine.
