Ponale Gravel Experience

<p>From Riva del Garda to Pregasina, embark on a captivating cycling tour along the lakeshore with stunning views.</p>

<p>Formerly known as the “<strong>Old Ponale Trail</strong>”, this route served as the sole connection between Riva del Garda and Ledro Valley until 1992. Dedicated to its visionary creator, Giacomo Cis, it was closed to vehicles in 1995 and reopened as a scenic trail in 2004.</p> <p>Beyond the bridge spanning the deep Ponale Torrent gorge, the ascent towards Pregasina begins. This second stretch is entirely paved, allowing access to both pedestrians and cyclists, leading up to the Madonna Statue.</p> <p>For the descent, you take the same path as the ascent, except for a brief alternative section after leaving Pregasina. This deviation comprises steep cemented slopes, but it can be comfortably avoided by sticking to the route used to ascend.</p> <p>The trail's terrain and inclines make it accessible to all.</p>
