Before you go: Bolzano Gries Ride

Best time to go

Apr, May, Sep, Oct

Mid-June to late September is the season for high trails, when mountain huts and lifts operate and passes are clear of snow. Lake Garda and the valley rides are pleasant in spring and autumn, when high routes are still snowy or closed.
