Altissimo - Tour

<p>A long and highly rewarding MTB tour high above Lake Garda.</p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p> </p>

<p><strong>Signage: 765. Altissimo - Tour</strong></p> <p>From Torbole you pass through the centre and ride up to Parco delle Busatte, then onto the tarmacked road towards Monte Altissimo. Follow the road, which rises steadily. After 8.5 km, switch to a forest track for about 6 km. An outstanding view of the northern part of Lake Garda makes the long climb more than worthwhile. From the end of the road, there’s another just under 100 metres to climb along a wide hiking trail until you reach to the highest point of the tour: the northeastern ridge of Monte Varagna at 1711 m. The descent begins with an easy trail which soon becomes a forest track down to Malga Campei (where you can stop for refreshments), then continues on a steep forest road to the beautifully situated village of Castione. Alternating between roads and trails, you soon reach the cycle path and follow it to Nago and back to your starting point in Torbole.</p> <p> </p> <p> </p>
