This is a self-guided 8-day cycling tour from Innsbruck to Lake Garda (Level 2). It covers imposing mountain ranges, spectacular panoramic views, and a culinary tour through the vineyards and orchards of South Tyrol. The tour is described as being in the Mediterranean and leaves nothing to be desired. The tour features an indulgent cycling holiday through orchards and vineyards along the South Tyrolean Wine Route, an Eldorado of South Tyrol, with selected wines and fruits to be tasted. It includes Trentino vineyards and landscapes, with a sightseeing tip for Trento's old town, the Cathedral, and the Buonconsiglio castle. A highlight is enjoying delicious pistachio ice cream by Lake Garda, Italy's largest lake, and experiencing 'la Dolce Vita'. The tour has a 'Level 2' character, meaning it's along beautifully maintained cycle paths through river valleys, with quiet roads through orchards and vineyards.
