walk on the north side of Lake Terlago, heading towards the homonymous village, view of the Vallene promontory and Canfedìn@luca bortolottiPhoto: Luca bortolotti, Garda Trentino
.
The route takes you to Ranzo, a small isolated mountain village with a fantastic view of the Garda basin, accessible via a breathtaking road embedded in the rock. Then, you continue on a forest road to San Lorenzo in Banale, which was once a strategic crossing point.
Next, you descend to Comano Terme, a well-known location for thermal waters and a great opportunity for a mid-ride break.
From there, you ascend through small villages to Passo della Morte, then descend towards the village of Sarche along a particularly technical trail that is not suitable for everyone.
Continuing from Sarche, you ride along the lakes of Toblino and Santa Massenza towards Vezzano, following the cycle path. You then continue along the path until you reach Lake Terlago, the starting point of the ride.
Author’s recommendation
Take the opportunity to stop at one of the five distilleries (formerly 13) in Santa Massenza and get to know the history of Trentino grappa up close.

After Ranzo, you start cycling on a dirt road with a stunning view of the Limarò canyon, passing through Moline until you reach the area below San Lorenzo in Banale, traversing a combination of rural and dirt roads.
From there, you continue towards the hamlets of Andogno and Tavodo, then descend towards Villa Banale and Ponte Arche, where you can stop for a break.
Here, you start ascending towards the villages of Poia, Godenzo, and finally Comano, returning on a long dirt road towards Passo della Morte, the highest point of the tour.
From the pass, you descend down a steep dirt trail that turns into a fairly technical mule track, until you reach the Limarò cycle path, which emerges onto the last four hairpin bends of the main road leading to Sarche.
From Sarche, you pass through the countryside on the left bank of Lake Toblino, through the Nosiola vineyards, then cross the main road to join the promenade along Lake Santa Massenza and the village of the same name.
Once you have circled the lake, you enter Padergnone, ready to face the penultimate challenging uphill section to Vezzano, along beautiful but demanding dirt roads.
From Vezzano, you take the cycle path to climb the final 80 metres of elevation and quickly descend towards Lake Terlago.
