CYCLING AREA
We are located in the middle of northern Italy, surrounded by both the Alps and the Dolomite Mountain ranges. Located on the south side of Lake Garda, we are part of the Lake Region of Italy. Our position at the south of the lake provides us with a variety of ride types: flat around the lake, hills to our east in the Valpolicella wine region, and mountains as we head north into the foothills of the Alps. A short trip by van also allows us to explore the Dolomites.
Northern Italy, with its diverse terrain,
offers some of the best riding in the World
COLLINE MORENICHE

The Morainic Hills are steeped in Italian history, often referred to as the “Risorgimento Hills” due to their role in Italy’s unification.

The scenery blends historical landmarks with natural beauty, making every ride memorable yet accessible for all levels of cyclists.
LAKE GARDA
Difficulty: Easy / Medium

Lake Garda is a must-ride destination for every cyclist, offering a mix of easier routes and challenging climbs, all set against breathtaking Lake Garda and the mountains. From the olive tree-lined shores to historic castle towns like Lazise and Bardolino, every ride captures the picturesque charm of the lake. The hotel’s strategic location at Garda’s southern tip encourages exploration on both the east and west sides. Some favorite routes add a ferry crossing for an adventurous twist.
VALPOLICELLA & VERONA

Valpolicella, a world-renowned wine region, offers cyclists the unique chance to ride through the serenity of beautiful hillside vineyards and historic towns nestled in the valleys. To reach the best viewpoints, you’ll tackle 5-6 kilometer climbs that reward with breathtaking panoramas. Valpolicella’s terrain welcomes riders of all levels, with options ranging from gentle routes to challenging multi-climb tours.
Located where Valpolicella valley gently descends to the Adige River, Verona’s seamless blend of history and nature make it the perfect reward for a day of climbing or the main destination for a relaxed ride. A scenic path along the Adige leads to the UNESCO World Heritage city, where you’ll see places made famous in Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet and the spectacular Arena, built by the Romans and the heart of the city ever since.
MONTE BALDO
