Monte Campuccio

Monte Campuccio near the small village of Vobarno on southern Lake Garda already shows its teeth on the mercilessly steep ascent, but presents a deluxe-class trail descent.

Description

The route starts in the village of Vobarno. From here, you wind your way through typical Italian residential areas along the Rio Traversante towards Sopra i Prati. Up to this point, the climb is still relatively bearable. From Sopra i Prati, however, a climb begins that is second to none. Only the toughest under the sun can really pedal on an organic bike. A real treat for e-bikers, however. Uphill flow takes on a whole new meaning here and puts a grin on your face. From Gardoncello to the summit, the ride becomes gentler and also offers panoramic views. The summit itself is relatively inconspicuous and is more reminiscent of a high plateau, but offers a fantastic view of Lombardy and southern Lake Garda.

The descent runs on difficulty levels S1 to S2, initially along the ascent route, later heading south via Dosso delle Puse and then down to Vobarno. In the meantime, the difficulty increases to S3 level, which is typical terrain for this area. Loose leaves, loose scree and steep gradients make for a challenging trail that is particularly enjoyable for enduro bikers. The last few meters become easier again and finally you roll through urban terrain back to the starting point. Conclusion: All in all, an effective loop, but the extremely steep uphill gives e-bikers a clear advantage here.
