Day 2

Milan — Lake Garda — Levico Terme (via Strada della Forra)

Depart Milan and ride east toward the stunning Lake Garda, following its spectacular western shore,
where the mountains plunge directly into the water. We’ll take a detour along the Strada della Forra, one of the most famous motorcycle roads in the world — a narrow, winding gorge road carved into the cliffs, so scenic it was featured in a James Bond 007 movie.

Continue north through charming lake towns such as Salò and Limone, then reach Riva del Garda, where the mountains open up into the Trentino region. From here, ascend to Levico Terme, our base for the next riding adventures — a relaxing alpine spa town perfectly placed at the gateway to the Dolomites.

Day 3

The Great Dolomites Loop I

From Levico, begin your first full day through the heart of the Dolomites, exploring incredible passes like Manghen, Rolle, Brocon and Lavazè. These roads reward precision and smooth throttle work — ideal for riders who love challenging curves. Back in Levico, where a beautiful spa awaits us—perfect for unwinding after such an intense day.

Day 5

Brenta Dolomites & Big Passes (Madonna di Campiglio — Tonale — Gavia — Bormio)

Today’s ride is one of the true highlights of the tour — a journey through the Brenta Dolomites, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, where majestic peaks rise dramatically above deep green valleys. From Madonna di Campiglio, a jewel of the Italian Alps, we climb the Passo Tonale (1,883 m), a legendary road for motorcyclists that winds through wide alpine meadows and World War I fortifications.

The adventure continues on to the Passo Gavia (2,621 m), one of Italy’s most spectacular and thrilling high-mountain passes. Narrow, scenic, and full of tight bends, it rewards riders with unforgettable views of glaciers and endless alpine ridges. We end the day descending toward Bormio — the perfect place to relax after a day of epic riding among Italy’s most iconic mountain roads.

Day 7

From the Alps to Lake Como and back to Milan

A perfect finale: ride along the enchanting Lake Como, following its winding lakeside road and soaking in views of the villages and villas that made it world-famous. Stop for photos and a lakeside lunch before heading back to Milan for the end of your journey.
