Hiking
Italy
Please note! This is a private tour, and is therefore only for specially invited guests.
Liv-Berit invites her group of girlfriends on an adventure!
Where the Dolomites meet Lake Garda lie the towns of Riva del Garda and Torbole. This is where you start your trip.
There will be cycling in fantastic surroundings in the area around the Brenta Dolomites! A few days on the very same routes where the Giro d’Italia has cycled several times before – but you will be using great e-bikes!
Spectacular hikes in the Brenta Dolomites are also on the program for this trip.
The experiences will be lined up. Accommodation in four different locations.
It is also possible to extend with an extra night in Venice at the end of the trip.
The lake is located in Northern Italy, between Brescia and Verona, and is the largest lake in Italy. It is 51.6 km long, with an area of 370 km² and a volume of approx. 50 km³.
South of the lake, there is a rolling landscape, while it becomes more dramatic and narrow towards the north, with mountains like Monte Baldo and the Brenta Dolomites towering in the background. Here you will find both tranquility and action, with plenty of opportunities for activities on land, on water, and in the mountains – a perfect place for both the active and those who just want to relax.
The Brenta Dolomites are located in Northern Italy, west of Lake Garda, and are part of the UNESCO-listed Dolomites. The area is known for its dramatic limestone peaks, steep rock faces, and spectacular landscapes.
Here you will find one of Europe's most varied areas for an active holiday, with everything from hiking on well-marked trails to challenging via ferrata routes and cycling in both high mountains and valleys. The terrain alternates between green alpine meadows, dense forests, and high mountain formations, providing great nature experiences regardless of level. The Brenta Dolomites is a perfect place for anyone wanting an active holiday with a real mountain feel – whether on foot or on a bike.

The driver of the transport bus will meet you at the airport in Venice. Transfer to the hotel in Torbole.
Check-in at the hotel before you optionally take a stroll in the area. Perhaps you would like an afternoon dip in Lake Garda before dinner?
Lunch and dinner on your own (not included).
After breakfast, you check out of the hotel.
The bike shop is located near the hotel. Here you collect the rental bikes before being transported up to Passo Ballino, approx 15 km from Riva del Garda. From here you head towards Stenico and onwards to Madonna di Campiglio in the Brenta Dolomites. A great stage in a fantastic landscape, with views towards the Dolomites to the north.
The route is undulating, and the last 25 km are purely uphill to the mountain town (ski destination) of Madonna di Campiglio. A breeze for those of you with e-bikes!
You will take your lunch break in one of the cozy towns along the way (not included).
Luggage is transported to the hotel in Madonna di Campiglio. Check-in and a well-deserved dinner at Hotel Europa 3* in Madonna di Campiglio (included).
After a good breakfast, you go through today's route. The plan is to take the mountain lift up to 2000 m above sea level – to Cinque Laghi. A fantastic area, with panoramic views of the Brenta Dolomites. At the end of the hike, you take the Pradalago gondola lift back to Madonna di Campiglio. That way, there won't be several thousand meters of altitude decline to do on foot.
Walking distance from the hotel to both mountain lifts.
It is possible to choose different routes depending on the weather / daily form. In any case, you should expect a full-day trip in the "heights". A magical trip! You will have lunch at a suitable place along the way (not included).
Joint dinner in the hotel's restaurant in the evening (included).
Another exciting day of hiking awaits. Today you choose the route that takes you from Rifugio Graffer and on through the Vallesinella valley, past all the spectacular waterfalls.
The hike starts with the Funiviva Grostè mountain lift. From the hotel in Madonna di Campiglio, it is a short 5-minute taxi ride to the start of the mountain lift. It takes you all the way up to approx. 2500 m above sea level.
Once up, you are met with fantastic views – spectacular! Here you have several options. You choose the route based on weather, degree of difficulty, and daily form. However, we recommend the upper route which takes you past some of the mountain huts, where you can also have today's lunch (not included). Then you walk down the Vallesinella valley.
The routes are well marked. Once down in the valley, there is a local bus back to Madonna di Campiglio (approx. 15 minutes' ride).
No matter which route you choose – expect a full day in the mountains today as well.
You will probably be back at the hotel in the early evening. A well-deserved shower and a good dinner await you in the hotel's restaurant (included).
This day you are back on the e-bikes!
The first 25 km are strictly downhill, on the opposite side of the mountain you came up. Once down in the valley, you follow the cycle path further into what we like to call the "Apple Valley" – Val di Sole. The whole valley is full of fruit trees – beautiful!
Lunch at a local trattoria with truly good food (not included, but we will book a table for you). This is a lunch you will certainly remember for a long time.
After lunch, the climb begins, this time up to the ski destination of Andalo. A fantastic climb of approx. 12 km. By then, you have actually moved around the Brenta Dolomites and can look up at the 3000-meter-high peaks you climbed on the previous days – a mighty sight!
From Andalo it goes downhill again, towards the beautiful Lake Molveno. Fantastic descent to the lake.
Check-in at Grand Hotel Molveno, located right by the green mountain lake in Molveno.
Joint dinner in the hotel's restaurant in the evening (included).
You pack your luggage and check out before breakfast.
Today's stage from Molveno and back to Torbole at Lake Garda is mostly downhill / flat all the way.
You follow the lovely mountain lake Molveno. From here, the trip continues down towards the ravine that takes you to the town of Sarche. Then the road continues further south towards Lake Garda and Torbole. You cycle past several beautiful vineyards along the way. Great cycle path for the last 25 km. You will have lunch at a suitable place along the way (not included).
Check-in at a hotel in Torbole, which is located at the very north end of Lake Garda, and connects with the town of Riva del Garda.
Farewell dinner of your choice at a local restaurant in Torbole (not included).
Breakfast before checkout and transfer to the airport.
Thank you for traveling with us!
