What does cycling in Trentino-South Tyrol look like?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The village of Molveno, our base camp, with its 1000 inhabitants, is located in the \u2018Parco Naturale Adamello-Brento\u2019, where you can, among other things, spot bears, and is surrounded by the Brenta Dolomites. It is located at an altitude of 864 meters and is popular with mountaineers and hikers..<\/strong> At the bottom of the village lies the beautiful \u2018Lago di Molveno\u2019. This lake was named \u2018Best Italian Lake\u2019 for the sixth time in 2019. And we understand that perfectly! The water is a mega blue and is surrounded by the imposing mountain peaks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

From Molveno, a sun holiday and winter sports are just around the corner. In the nearby Andalo you will find ski lifts, an apr\u00e8s-ski bar, and the Christmas lights are still burning in September. Even in the summer, you get goosebumps just thinking about skiing here. If you drive 45 minutes west, you will find yourself among the palm trees by Lake Garda. And if you head up the mountain towards the east, you will be surrounded by vineyards. The Stelvio and Sella Ronda are also within easy reach. A very diverse environment, therefore!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
