Lake Garda's position in the Southern Limestone Alps makes its surrounding area a mountain biking hot spot. The Tremalzo Pass, known as one of the best spots in the region, sits just west of the lake. This mostly downhill route of gravel roads winds through incredible scenery along a historic path built during World War I.
After meeting in the town of Arco, on the northern part of Lake Garda, you take a shuttle with your guide and your equipment to the pass's starting point at 2,000 m (6,600 m) in elevation. The 30 km (19 mi) trail winds through rich vegetation and past sweeping views of the Ledro Valley. The pass is mostly downhill, but a few uphill sections make sure you keep your heart pumping.
During WWI, the Italian troops occupied the southern side of this valley while the Austrians were just north. The Italian soldiers created the Tremalzo Pass to transport weapons more efficiently. Today, traveling this former military road brings incredible views of Lake Garda down below.
Halfway through the biking journey, the group makes a stop for lunch in a mountain hut. Enjoy delicious pasta in the country where the dish was perfected. Take a rest to enjoy the meal and the stunning surroundings. After your muscles are ready for more action, you continue biking to finish the breathtaking 30km ride.
For experienced mountain bikers or active travelers looking for a beautiful cycling path, the Tremalzo Pass is the highlight of the mountains around Lake Garda. Spend the day mountain biking through history down a route full of marvelous views.

A very good experience. The number of exposed sections were shorter (but with considerable difficulty) than what I had expected. Hiking along the steep path carved out in the mountain was the mainstay. But 5/5 to our guide Matteo who was an expert mountaineer (he helped a fellow climber cross over a difficult section when she got badly stuck). Overall a very memorable experience!

Best day ever, easy to find very reliable and friendly staff. Plus you get to see some really great scenery on your way to the steering point. First class canyoning and the guide Andrea needs a pay rise.

This was definitely the highlight of my trip to Lake Garda! Such an amazing experience with one other solo traveller and our guide Andrea who immediately put us at ease with his sense of humour and easy going nature. He also kept a watchful eye on our safety as we were both first timers on a via ferrata climb. The views were spectacular ...even better than I anticipated! Would highly recommend to anyone looking for a fun yet challenging activity

Location was very nice, instructor was friendly and experienced. We had a lot of fun! Only thing that was a bit confusing was the pickup. We booked through OutdoorVisit but we're supposed to find the tour operator (MMove) at the crowded pickup point. They didn't seem to be able to find our reservation, but after 20 mins everything worked out. This meant that other people had to wait for us though.

Fantastic day out. The guys were great, made it a laugh and I 100% recommend. I’m afraid of heights and water and managed to do it, my adrenaline was pumping. Lots of jumps and abseils. It is a little scary but you feel great and really feel you achieved something afterwards. I think the reps were called David and Andreo they were great!
