Bike tours in the area around Lake Garda starting and ending in Cola di Lazise

This homepage has been created for bikers, who live in one of the villages/apartments owned by Ivan Panizza and Cariza Monuz - Click on the picture or here to visit the homepage for the villages/apartments.

I have biked all the tours one to three times, but created these routes by two different mapping programs - "Ride with GPS" or "Bike Road Toaster" - The total ascent are not the same in the two programs. I have chosen the amount of ascent from one of them - the one which was nearest my own measuring.
