Levico Terme - Croce Domini

Route description/characteristics:

Total distance 350 km
The tour leads mainly along many small, low-traffic roads, but partly also - along Lake Garda - along wide, heavily trafficked routes.

From the top of the Croce Domini pass there is a 9.5 km long gravel section that can be driven on with any machine - in dry weather - without any problems. This section can also be left out at Bagolino. But then the beautiful stretch from Bagolino up to Croce Domini is missing.
The highlight of the tour is - besides the scenic delights - the stretch along the Lago di Valvestino - simply brilliant!

From Levico Terme to Caldonazzo and up to San Nicolo. From there via Carbonare - turn right here - over the Passo di to Folgaria and down the valley to Calliano. There turn left and immediately right again to Nomi. Continue to Lagarina. Here turn right towards Pedersano. Before reaching the village, turn sharp left (acute angle!) onto SP 45. Passing Patone, the narrow road leads to Lenzima and then - after Manzano - turn left onto SP 88. In the valley, you then meet the main road from Rovereto to Lake Garda - turn right here (SS240).  Continue to Torbole and then to Riva del Garda. Here follow the signs for Lake Ledro or Molina di Ledro. Follow the road down into the valley to Storo. Then turn left and after 4.5 km turn right towards Bagolino. Here follow the signs for Passo Croce Domini. At the top of the pass turn left - here follows a 9.5 km long gravel section, which can be used without any problems in dry weather. Continue to Passo Maniva. At the top of the pass turn left into the car park. Behind it the road continues down to Bagolino. Keep right here and the road descends to Lake Idro. Follow the lake to the right until Pieve Vecchia. Here, turn left up to Cappovalle - keep left there - via Persone you will reach Lago di Valvestino and come to a stretch of road where you can get dizzy. One bend after the other, from left to right and again to the left - no end in sight - simply gigantic! After Gargnano the road goes down steeply in many serpentines. Shortly along the lake to the north it goes up again to Tignale and Tremosine. Then keep right towards Vesio, Priezzo-Sompriezzo and Pieve. Over a spectacularly led narrow road one comes back down to the Garda Lake. Follow the shore road to the north until Riva del Garda. Here follow the signs to Arco. In Arco turn right towards Torbole. Shortly after, a small road branches off to the left - signposting "Monte Velo". Follow the road until it goes steeply down to Ronzo Chienis. There turn left over the Passo Bordola and then - keep left - direction Lago di Cei. At the end of this road (where it joins the SP 25) turn right as far as Aldeno. Turn left there and then right again shortly after. Then over the Adige. Follow the signs for Caldonazzo. Then return to Levico Terme.
