Full description
Have you ever thought of conquering the entire perimeter of Lake Garda in just one day?
If you are looking for an alternative that will test your desire for discovery, get on a blazing Vespa 125cc and get ready to conquer a 181 km loop starting from Desenzano.
A full-day tour to experience the area without filters, following at your own pace the digital itinerary on the app through Italy's most spectacular roads!
What we will do
The appointment is 15 minutes before the start, at 9: 00 a. m. , at the meeting point in Desenzano del Garda (BS) . After the initial briefing and the handover of the rented Vespa and helmets (included) , you will be ready to start this unforgettable day around Lake Garda.
The 181 kmroute will initially see you riding along the Gardesana Occidentale, on the Brescia side of the lake. You will drive on one of the most spectacular roads in the world, where asphalt creeps between tunnels carved into the rock and natural balconies suspended between the blue water and vertical mountain walls. It is a fascinating stretch, also made famous by the James Bond film Quantum of Solace.
You will reach the northern tip at Riva del Garda, and then begin the descent along the Veronese side to the east. From here you will begin the descent along the Gardesana Orientale on the Veronese side. The landscape will change face, offering more gentle and open roads through vineyards and centuries-old olive groves, under the majestic gaze of Monte Baldo.
Along the way, you will have the freedom to stop and take photos at the most evocative viewpoints or for a lunch stop overlooking the lake (free lunch excluded, with a 10% discount at the restaurants selected in the digital guide) .
Finally, after completing the 181 km loop, you will return to Desenzano. The activity will last about 10 hours in total.
