Cycling day trip from Malcesine to Torbole sul Garda

Set off from the picturesque town of Malcesine, nestled on the eastern shore of Lake Garda beneath the imposing Monte Baldo. The route to Torbole sul Garda offers a full day of cycling—you’ll cover about 98 km and climb over 1,700 meters, so it’s an adventure for those who love longer, scenic rides.

You’ll mostly stick to paved roads (about 80%), including an impressive chunk on dedicated cycleways (roughly half the journey!), giving you plenty of chances to soak up the lake views and mountain backdrops. Expect a mix of serene lakeside roads and gradual climbs, with rewarding descents to keep things lively.

As you roll north towards Torbole, you’ll pass through olive groves and charming Italian villages. Don’t forget to look back now and then—the views over Lake Garda are absolutely spectacular.

Your destination, Torbole, is known for its vibrant windsurfing scene and laid-back vibe. Celebrate your ride with a cold drink at one of the lakeside cafés and take in the bustling waterfront before relaxing by the lake. Buon viaggio!
