Today sees a great start to your epic biking trip around the Brenta Dolomites. Andalo is the base for a number of great rides, suitable for all level of riders. Setting off from Andalo, we’ll start with a gradual climb through the forest to the view point of Malga Trove – just below the imposing Brenta peaks, an ideal stop for the first coffee break in one of the chalets!

From here the option to ride one of the “flow” mountain biking trails or forest track down to Lake Molveno. A trail will follow the lakeside heading to the smaller idyllic lake of Nembia. After enjoying our lunch break, we set off again along Lake Molveno to then start climbing up through the forest. The landscape will open up with pastures and views of the peaks of the Brenta.

Arriving above Andalo, you have the option of descending on a forest track or embark on yet another great classic, full-on adrenalin MTB trail back to Andalo.

• Meals: Breakfast, lunch, dinner
• Ascent: 2130 Metres Approx.

After a full Italian breakfast, we set off following a forest trail. A great descent is ahead of us, on forest roads down to the cultivated Val di Non. Some cheeky climbs await us as well as some great sections of single track.

We stop for lunch in one of the villages in Val di Non, allowing some time for a quick battery recharge, before setting off for the last section. Although the riding is not technical, staying mostly on mountain forest roads, the climbing is steady and rewarding as we reach over 2000m.

Our destination is Rifugio Peller, below the Circo del Peller, offering great alpine hospitality. Mr Rinaldo will greet us with his smile and some well-deserved beers! For those who want to make the most of their e-bike battery, a further loop from the Refuge can be added on. Dinner is genuine alpine cuisine, typical of this Tyrol region.

• Meals: Breakfast, lunch
• Ascent: 1100 Metres Approx.

Today we reach the heart of the Dolomites of Brenta by bike. Leaving the rifugio, we’ll be in true alpine landscapes, complete with marmots and grazing cattle on the pastures. We take a great singletrack to reach Passo della Forcola with great views of the mighty Brenta Dolomites, some of the best of the trip. On clear days it is possible to see as far as Pale di San Martino and Marmolada.

From here, the descent can become a bit challenging but there are various options depending on your biking ability; from single tracks through dense forest to open forest gravel roads. On reaching the bottom of the Valley the next section towards Madonna di Campiglio is a roller coaster along the fiume Noce, leading us to our final climb to Madonna di Campiglio.

• Meals: Breakfast, lunch, dinner
• Ascent: 970 Metres Approx.

We start today by taking the chair lift up to either Spinale or Rifugio Boch to embark on some great trails around Monte Spirale, towards Malga Fevri and up to Croce del Doss dei Fevri. A panoramic single trail followed by forest track will take us back to Palu near Madonna di Campiglio, where we carry on with our journey towards Vallesinella. From here the route gradually climbs on a dirt road leading to the pristine Valagola lake.

After a short section along the lake, the next challenge will be a steep section up to Bregna da L‘Ors pass. Again the reward is a fun single track descent to Malga Movlina where we then carry on descending on a mix of dirt roads and single tracks to Irone. The last section follows the main road back to Comano Terme, just in time to make the most of the spa!

• Meals: Breakfast, lunch
• Ascent: 1035 Metres Approx.

After a full on few days, our final day on the bike will be a cross country journey, mostly on forest tracks, taking us from the region of the Brenta Dolomites to that of Lake Garda, offering up our last glimpse of the high peaks. Leaving Comano Terme, the forest track climbs towards Monte Brento, a densely forested range that separates the two fertile plains of Val Di Sarca and Lake Garda.

Overlooking the fertile plain of Fiavè, we’ll stop to visit the remains of San Martino di Lomaso, a Roman settlement only recently discovered amongst the forest, with well-preserved ruins. Further up the track, Malga di Vigo is a perfect location to stop for our packed lunch as we enjoy the alpine pastures and views.

As we start to descend towards Arco, the landscape changes dramatically with limestone cliffs, terraced vineyards, olive groves, and the view of Lake Garda opening up ahead of us. The final descent leads us to the Castle of Arco. Time permitting we’ll stop for a quick visit, before the final descent into the main square of Arco, where we’ll stop for a celebratory cheers to a great e-biking adventure together!
