BT1 Across the Alps on a Touring Bike - 

Garmisch to Lake Garda

This fantastic bicycle tour across the Alps sticks almost entirely to bicycle trails and farm roads, making it a great tour for beginners and active families alike. As one of the longest established bike tours across the Alps, this tour offers signage and routing that we have yet to match anywhere else, allowing cyclist the capacity to enjoy every kilometer to the fullest.
