I was wondering if anyone has been to Malcesine on Lake Garda? I have just booked a week there in August and wouldn’t mind hiring a bike for a day in the Dolomites. Would love to know if anyone has been and what the form / cost is for hiring a bike / helmet etc.

The outdoorsy places tend to be concentrated around the Torbole area.
I can recommend carpentari.com/ as they were helpful for those in our party who hired. They happily swapped over brakes etc.
I’d also recommend Luca Bike Shuttlefor uplifts. Departs from carpark outside Carpentari.

Some inspiration & GPX stuff here

Look up these trails for starters:
601, Skull, Bocca di Fobia, Sentiaro della Pace, Serpente, Coast.

We’re going back in May. Brilliant place.
