Malcesine – Altissimo
Description
The tour starts in Riva, takes the boat to Malcesine and then the cable car up from there. Now begins the 600 meter ascent to the Altissimo. The Rifugio Altissimo offers a refreshment stop before the big trail fun begins. Over wide meadows, not too steep, you come to Malga Campo. Pass this until you reach the rocks, where a traverse begins along the very steep slope (danger of falling). After the traverse, you come over a hump into the forest. A fast, flowing trail with lots of foliage takes you to the large alpine meadow. Cross this and at the end turn right back into the forest. The trail now becomes a little steeper, but not too difficult, and rides to the Strada Brentegana. There are now a few short, poisonous climbs that are quite painful. The forest road ends and you ride slightly uphill on the path. This leads to the start of the final downhill spectacle, the Val del Diaol trail. Here you have to summon up all your strength once again. The trail is a tough one, steeply blocked right at the start and peppered with high drops, it is not for the faint-hearted or beginners. The trail leads down to a gravel pit and continues on tarmac to Nago and via Torbole to Riva, the starting point of the tour.

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.
