BIKE SELF TOUR - IN THE LAND OF CUSTOZA
If we tell you that it is a breathtaking tour, we don't want to scare you, the uphill climbs are light but the scenery is incredibly beautiful!
The route

Total elevation gain: 430 + / 430 –
Areas: 96% asfalto – 4% sterrato
Level: intermedio
Tipology: cyclotourism/ road bike/gravel / e-bike
Kissed by the gentle wind of the Custoza Hills with the scent of the vineyards making the whole atmosphere more charming, you will feel as if you were cycling in a postcard!
Along the route you will be able to admire different landscapes.
Starting from the countryside of Bussolengo, you can approach the hinterland of Lake Garda passing through the village of Colà.
In this first stage it is impossible to give up the sweetness of honey from Morati beekeeping.
Continuing on, there is no shortage of wineries where you can enjoy a good glass of wine, along with the excellent products the area offers, La Pesenata, Corte Fornello and Azienda Agricola Gorgo will be happy to welcome you!
Pedal, pedal but then you also need to refresh yourself, and what better than an ice cream at Corte Vittoria, a small deviation of the route but an experience that will not disappoint.
On this tour you go up and down, at a slow or fast pace, away from the noise of the city among the sounds of nature, history and art of small villages.
Gabanel's tips
The route is mostly flat except for two climbs, not long but steep, before and after Custoza.
The first starts from Santa Lucia di Valeggio and arrives in Custoza, the other starts from the center of Custoza and arrives at the Ossuary, from which there is a wide view of the surrounding hills, Mount Baldo, Lessinia, and Mount Carega.
Some of the drinking fountains on the route are marked in the trail. However, not all of them are always working and, especially in the winter period, many are closed.
As a variant, we recommend slightly lengthening the route to reach Valeggio sul Mincio and the charming village of Borghetto
So many wonderful points of interest along the way
