Lake Garda, the largest lake in Italy, will be opening a 140km-long bike trail for cyclists to witness its breathtaking scenery in a new way. By 2021, a project called Garda by Bike will open a continuous biking path that runs through the Italian regions of Lombardy and Veneto, as well as the province of Trento.
Throughout this bike journey, cyclists will be able to circle the perimetre of Lake Garda, where they can witness charming Italian towns and dramatic cliffs over the water. Additionally, they will also be connected to other beautiful cycling networks in Europe, such as the Eurovelo Route 7 and the Eurovelo Route 8.

For travellers in a post-pandemic world, this long-distance bike trail around Lake Garda offers a refreshing journey in the great outdoors; and in doing so, it encourages people to travel responsibly while practising social distancing.
