Cavedine - Tour
<p>A mountain biking adventure between Valle del Sarca and Valle di Cavedine.</p>
<p><strong>Signage: 1720. Cavedine - Tour</strong></p> <p>Starting from Sarche, head south, first on a gravel road, then on an interesting but flat trail until you reach a cycle path on the other side of the river at Pietramurata. At the edge of the Marocche, a beautiful trail (also flat) then leads over to Trebi on Lago di Cavedine. From there you could cycle along the lake back to the starting point. But for more ambitious cyclists, this is where the real climbs finally begin. First up to Drena, where you’ll be greeted from afar by the imposing Castel Drena, then in a series of ups and downs and changing terrain through the entire Valle di Cavedine. Once you’ve coasted back down to the starting point in Sarche at Calavino, you will have climbed a total of almost 900 vertical metres in just under 33 kilometres.</p> <p>Variants: <a href="https://www.gardatrentino.it/CavedineTourShortcut">Cavedine - Tour Shortcut</a></p>
