THE ROUTE

Daolasa to Riva — Across Four Valleys and Three Passes

The itinerary threads from Daolasa through four alpine valleys and gains three passes before finishing on the shores of Lake Garda at Riva — a continuous 110 km line across western Trentino.

THE SURFACES

A Varied Ride: Asphalt, Cycle Paths and Forest Tracks

Expect a mix of surfaces: roughly 51 km on secondary asphalt roads, 25 km on paved cycle paths, 20 km on forest dirt tracks and 14 km on main roads — the variation is why a gravel or trekking bike is recommended.

THE RETURN

One‑Way Adventure, Relaxed Return

The route is designed as a point‑to‑point experience finishing at Lake Garda; for the return to Val di Sole, the DogaBus provides a scheduled transfer from Riva del Garda.

What the day feels like

What the Day Feels Like

This is a full‑day, one‑way ride that moves from high valley terrain toward the lake, alternating sustained pedaling on paved sections with looser, quieter stretches on forest roads and cycle paths; the effort culminates in the lakeside arrival and an easy, bused return.
