Altissimo - Coast-Trail
Description
You start the tour in Torbole and ride up through the old town center to the Busatte sports field. There are 15 kilometers of tarred ascent ahead of you. It gets really steep at the top before continuing on a gravel road after a barrier. After a few bends, the gravel road ends and you turn right onto the hiking trail. Riding at first, then pushing and carrying, you climb a total of 350 meters to the summit of the Altissimo. Here you will find the Rifugio Altissimo restaurant, which serves wonderful pasta. This tastes particularly good after these exertions.
Afterwards, head east across the meadow slopes to Malga Campo. Past this, an exposed rocky path soon begins, which traverses around the mountain to the right. Beware, there is a risk of falling here! If you are not free from vertigo, you should not attempt this descent. After the traverse, you reach an alpine pasture area and then a steep concrete slope in the forest. You then come to the Strada Brentegana and ride along it until you come to a trail that leads back to the Altissimo road. A little later, after Malga Casina, turn left onto the Coasttrail. A few more kilometers of trail are added here. The lower part of the trail is very challenging, especially after this long day. Some tricky steep steps with typical rocky Lake Garda terrain challenge you once again. Once you reach a gravel road, you return to the Altissimo road and continue down to Torbole.
Note: A significant part of the ascent can be shortened with a bike shuttle.

In addition to the publishing business, the company is now also active in product management and operating entire mountain bike projects. These include the tourism project Ride Travel and the development of modern and authentic mountain bike offers such as the Bahnentour in Davos Klosters, Engadin St. Moritz, Lenzerheide or Aletsch, as well as the creation of multi-day tours such as the Postauto-Tour or the Hüttentour.
