Tour overview

This 7-day e-bike holiday explores Lake Garda and its vineyards from a single base, so there is no packing and unpacking. It is self-guided, with e-bike hire, a navigation app and a local agent on call. You stay six nights in a four-star hotel converted from an old railway station, with a pool, sauna and garden, and breakfast daily.

Your first rides follow the Mincio River and the Veneto shore to the lakeside towns of Lazise and Bardolino, then climb gently into the Valpolicella vineyards for wine tasting.

You loop through Lombardy and Veneto to the medieval village of Borghetto and Valeggio, ride along the Mincio to Sirmione and the Lugana vineyards, and head south to the Renaissance city of Mantua.

The physical rating is low, thanks to the e-bikes. This holiday suits relaxed cyclists who enjoy lakes, wine and food.
