My Personal Experience: Circumnavigating the Lake by E-Bike
I recently tackled a unique e-bike route, with bikes rented from Bike3Lands Shop in Idro, run by Davide. This circuit, which traces the shoreline, climbs toward Passo Maniva and descends to Ponte Caffaro, is an experience accessible to everyone, rich with stunning panoramas and fun. A two-wheeled adventure that combined sport, nature, and the pleasure of a mountain refuge lunch.
