Be sure to drive clockwise. The end will be more beautiful that way 😉

Insight: Lake Garda tours are not Rhön tours: it goes up longer and down again 🥵😅😉 - and that at over 30 degrees... - I almost ran out of water and out of nowhere a saving mountain hut suddenly came 🙏😊

Beautiful tour, with lots of viewpoints. The tour goes over tarmac to the turnoff to S.Barbara. We continue through the forest, sometimes up, sometimes down, with a very beautiful view. The descent takes us through the chestnut forests near Carobi, to the climbing rocks near Massone, to the Sarca and via Arco back to the lake.

It was very pleasant that it was cloudy when driving up, so the altitude difference didn't feel quite as dramatic. The never-ending descent put a permanent smile on my face 😁
