Four stagesfor real bikers, with constant alternances of earth and water, where lakes and peaks are watching us. Once climbed up Garda's lake, we will access the valleis, direction Madonna di Campiglio, Val di Sole and Tonale's pass, with a stage at 2.700 metres, with the help of the cable car.

DAY 1. From Desenzano to Rocca di Manerba to dominate Garda's lake, to finally pass through Val Sabbia and touch ldro and d'Ampola's lakes and theirs waterfalls.

DAY 2. We will pass through the hidden waterfall Gorg d'Abiss and we will touch Ledro's lake, to descend in the lovely Ponale's path excavated in the rock until Garda's shore. After a quick break in the pleasant city centre, we will climb direction Comano terme, passing by Tenno's lake and its thousands colors, to end up our climb in Val d’Algone, facing dolomites peaks of Brenta.

DAY 3. To start slowly is suggested, because 2.000m height difference is expected. Always looking at Dolomiti del Brenta, we will touch the high alpine cottage of Val d’Algone, descending to Madonna di Campiglio and climbing up to Val di Sole on dirty-road. Finally only descent to Caprioli's lake, dwarves' track to finish on theVal di Sole's base.

DAY 4. To win passo del Tonale we give the priviledge to dirty-roads and absorbed-by-nature tracks, leaving the asphalt on the side. Five kilometres more but loads of nature's beauties to be seen. After a break at the Pass, we will take the Albiolo's cable car and we will push our bikes until passo dei contrabbandieri more than 2.600 metres. We will slowly descend at Bozzi shelter to touch Ponte di Legno and Edolo through via Carolingia. From the village under the name of Brescia, we will climb to Aprica with a moderate pendence and we will finish our tour descending to Tresenda, where in couple of hours we will be heading to Monza or Milan.
