Motorbike tour - Lake tour

The Lake Tour in the Trentino is well-known among bikers. The approx. 200 km long route starts in Madonna di Campiglio, crosses the Adamello Brenta Nature Park before climbing up to the Campo Carlo Magno mountain pass at 1,682 m a.s.l., which offers a fantastic view on the Brenta Mountain Group. Then the route proceeds through the woods of the Val di Meledrio and past Folgarida. After a few curves we reach the village of Dimaro (766 m a.s.l.) in the Val di Sole.

We head towards east through the typical landscape of the Val di Non which is characterised by apple orchards. Once arrived in Cles, we drive towards Lake Tovel at 1,178 m a.s.l. along a road with a max. gradient of 12 %. The lake itself, surrounded by the impressive peaks of the Brenta Mountain Group, is a true natural gem and really worth visiting. From Lake Tovel we drive back to Tuenno, past the village of Denno and 1 km after Campodenno we turn right towards Lake Molveno at 865 m a.s.l. and drive along a narrow road with numerous bends. Lake Molveno is a popular excursion and holiday destination with many restaurants, pizzerias, camping sites and accommodations, making it the perfect spot for our lunch break.

From Lake Molveno we continue to Ponte Arche and then towards Lake Ponte Pia and Tione. After having crossed the Val Rendena and arrived in Carisolo, we turn left and enter the Val di Genova, where we proceed on a 17 km long road in an almost uncontaminated natural landscape with numerous waterfalls, such as the famous, 100 metres high waterfalls of Nardis (cascate di Nardis), which can be seen on the right side of the road after having driven for 4 kilometres. Once back in Carisolo, we turn left to return to Madonna di Campiglio, our starting point.
