Beautiful drive above Lago Di Garda. Slowly uphill in serpentines with beautiful views of the lake and the surrounding mountains. Quite steep at the end at 13 - 15%. I had to stand on the pedals as a 65-year-old newcomer, but it was definitely satisfying. Otherwise little traffic and pleasant to cycle. Descent to Malcesine without any problems, good road conditions. Nice short loop.... read more

Schöne Fahrt über dem Lago Di Garda. In Serpentinen langsam hinauf mit schönen Ausblicken auf den See und die umgebenden Berge. Zum Schluss ordentlich steil mit 13 - 15%. Ich musste in den Pedalen stehen als 65 jähriger Wiedereinsteiger, aber auf jeden Fall befriedigend. Sonst wenig Verkehr und angenehm zu fahren. Abfahrt nach Malcesine problemlos, guter Straßenzustand. Schöne Kurzrunde.

Down below, it starts gradually with moderate percentages. Good to get into it. Meanwhile, don't forget to enjoy the views as they are stunning. There are also many hairpin bends in it, very fun to do. At the end you have the steepest part which is well over 20 %, you don't have much time to catch your breath as this continues very steep up to the top.

Beneden begint deze geleidelijk aan met matige percentages. Goed om erin te komen. Vergeet ondertussen niet te genieten van de uitzichten want deze zijn prachtig. Er zitten ook veel haarspeldbochten in, zeer leuk om te doen. Op het einde heb je het steilste stuk dit is toch wel dik boven de 20 %, veel tijd om op adem te komen heb je niet want dit blijft zeer stijl verder gaan tot de top.
