What to expect
Itinerary
This is a typical itinerary for this product
Stop At: Malcesine, Malcesine, Province of Verona, Veneto
At 50 kilometers from Verona, at the foot of Monte Baldo, there is a city built around an ancient Scaligera fortress: Malcesine. An enchanting village overlooking Lake Garda, the northernmost of the Veronese side. With its small port, small squares and lively alleys, Malcesine has an irresistible charm, which captures you and never leaves you. From here you can take splendid walks and excursions in the hinterland, also thanks to the cable car that starts from via Navene Vecchia (not far from the Scaligero Castle) and goes up to Monte Baldo, called the “Botanical Garden of Europe” for its countless native plant species.
Duration: 15 minutes
Stop At: Eremo dei Santi Benigno e Caro, Piazza Cavour, 37018, Malcesine Italy
The Hermitage of San Benigno and Caro is a place of worship located in the middle of the dense wood of Monte Baldo. It was built in the eighth century and became a famous destination for King Pepin, son of Charlemagne, who went to listen to the hermits Benigno and Caro. It was restored by the Municipality of Malcesine with the help of the State Agency for State Forests in 1969.
Shortly after the Hermitage, on a spur of rock, you will also find a beautiful wrought iron cross.
Duration: 15 minutes
Stop At: Cassone, Cassone, Malcesine, Province of Verona, Veneto
We go down to Cassone on a challenging path in the undergrowth that at times offers extraordinary views
a visit to the beautiful port of Cassone, this small town crossed by the Aril river, a short stop where we await for those who want a well-deserved meal before returning to Malcesine on the cycle path

Great e-bike experience in the mountainside above Malcesine! This tour suits best the more experienced riders, with fun and challenging climbs, some flowy traverses and fairly steep downhills with lots of loose rocks. An alternative downhill is more intermediate/easy, but we had lots of fun doing...
Great e-bike experience in the mountainside above Malcesine! This tour suits best the more experienced riders, with fun and challenging climbs, some flowy traverses and fairly steep downhills with lots of loose rocks. An alternative downhill is more intermediate/easy, but we had lots of fun doing the steep part. Great views over Lake Garda, and a peaceful break by the sanctuary. Considerate and helpful guiding, by Alberto and some good stories to be shared in the breaks 😃
