Hi,
We are hoping to stay at a caravan site somewhere around Lake Garda and are not sure the best place to stay. We intand to hire cycles as my husband can't walk too far ( needs knee replacements too much sport)Camping Weekend hire out cycles but I'm not sure if you can cycle off the main road, on the west side of the lake. Can anyone give me some advice on where to stay
Thanks

Hi Joanna

lake garda is not really the most ideal place for cycling. Riva del garda has a few cycle lanes and you can get to the next village ( can't remember the name but it is literally a couple of miles away. After that the road around the lake is very very busy  and narrow in places and and we didn;t dare chance it and we are seasoned cyclists. away from the lake the area is very hilly and unless you are really keen mountain bikers ( you know lycra shorts and bums in the air sorts!!) there are no cycling for softies routes. We stayed at a site near Molena del Ledro a small lake about 9 miles from Riva and biked around that lake in about an hour. The bike around Lake garda would take you a couple of days it is huge!!.

We stayed at Camping Weekend last year and I can confirm that there's not too many places to cycle. You can drop down form the site the lakeside road and then cycle to Salo which is a couple of miles away and a fairly level ride. In the other direction there is a quiet road to Portese. However the climb back up to the campsite on your return is quite arduous. I don't think theres' much scope for long easy rides in the vicinity.
