Opening Ride

Event Details

On 17 May 2026 we open the South Garda Bike Region season with a group ride through the vineyards, morainic hills and countryside of Castelnuovo del Garda. A free day on the bike — open to everyone, no matter your level or how fast you ride.

The route follows the iconic Graspo del Moro trail, one of the most beautiful cycling itineraries in the area, with views over the lake and quiet roads through the vines.

Highlights

Vineyards, morainic hills, two rest stops and good company at the finish. Here is what the day looks like.

Two routes, one ride

Choose the 37 km Graspo del Moro, or the 22 km family loop. Both routes are open to gravel bikes, MTB and e-bikes.

Free snacks along the way

Two free refreshment stops are set up along both routes — take a break, refuel and enjoy the surroundings before continuing.

Guided groups

Guided groups will be available on the day — just follow the leaders from our partners MulinVelo, ciaocycling and almabike and enjoy the landscape.

Finish together

At the end of the ride everyone gathers at the finish for food trucks with local food and drink. A moment to relax, share and enjoy the territory together.
