On a racing bike...

Typical valleys and challenging alpine passes are a magnet for amateur and professional cyclists. Among the itineraries offered by the territory, a special mention goes to the "classic" Mendola-Palade tour, a path that every racing bike lover should complete at least once during a holiday at theiner's garten. We also highly recommend a visit to Val d'Ultimo, an idyllic place with fairy-tale landscapes, charming farmhouses and picturesque villages. Equally deserving is Val Passiria, which offers a completely different setting. Finally, highly trained cyclists can choose to go on a day trip to Lake Garda and to the Dolomites.

From Gargazzone, follow the cycling path up to Lana. After crossing the village, at the junction, take the road to the Val d'Ultimo.

Shortly before the end of the valley, you encounter the Schwemmalm ski area, where Dominik Paris, twice-winner of the downhill race in Kitzbühel, started his career. When you reach Santa Gertrude, the last village in the valley, turn right and follow the road up to the Fontana Bianca Lake. On the way back, follow the same itinerary of the first leg or a longer one through Lauregno and the Passo della Palade towards Lana, returning to Gargazzone along the cycling path.
