The DoGaBus links two signature pieces of Trentino cycling: after tackling the 110 km DoGa itinerary from Malé to Riva del Garda, riders board a dedicated bicibus for a tidy return to Val di Sole. The service is organized as a practical one‑way solution for cyclists, combining the challenge of a long-distance ride with a scheduled, bike‑equipped bus transfer on select Fridays in the summer season.
