MTB on Lake Garda: The Most Spectacular Routes

8 January 2026 6 min

Lake Garda is a paradise for mountain bike lovers. With over 1,500 km of marked routes, it offers experiences for all levels, from panoramic trails to technical single tracks.

The Ponale Cycle Path

Carved into the rock overhanging the lake, the Ponale cycle path is perhaps the most photographed route on Lake Garda. It connects Riva del Garda to Lake Ledro, offering breathtaking views and striking tunnels. The route is suitable for everyone and can be completed in about 2 hours.

The Monte Baldo Trails

For the more experienced, the trails descending from Monte Baldo towards Malcesine are a must. You go up by cable car and descend on technical single tracks with 1,700 meters of elevation drop. An adrenaline-filled experience with a view of the lake from above.

The Forts Loop

A historic route that touches the Austro-Hungarian forts above Riva del Garda. About 35 km with 800 meters of elevation gain, combining history and nature in a unique experience.

The Strada della Forra by MTB

Even by bike, the Strada della Forra is an unforgettable experience. The canyon carved into the rock, the waterfalls and the bridges create a magical atmosphere. The route is short but intense.

Conclusion

Whether you prefer relaxing panoramas or the adrenaline of technical trails, Lake Garda has the perfect route for you. Rent an e-MTB if you want to explore more, or take on the trails with your muscle bike for the complete challenge.
