    Today's trip starts from Garda, in the south of Garda Lake. We park our car along the road that comes down from Costermano to the so-called "Gardesana". We soon leave the asphalt road, in direction "Valle dei Mulini"; riding constantly inside this valley (we have the Croce Mounte, on the left, and the Canforal Mount on the right) , we finally cross the asphalt road again. We continue on this road for about 2,5 km, heading towards San Zeno centre, then Pineta Sperane, until we abandon the asphalt for a funny dirty singletrack, until we reach the Hotel Alla Pineta.
    We cross a private property (have respect if you meet the owner!), and the beauty of the lake shows up in front of us! Here starts a very technical trail, about 10 km, in some parts very fast, in others full of drops and walls.
    We reach Giare spot, go on in direction San Verolo, Cation Veronese, following the signs to Garda we turn right crossing Virle. We have to reach again San Zeno, but instead of going right, we take the left path towards Fontane Mount that leads to Albisano. On the number 3 track, we ride on until Luppia Mount summit. The view is wonderful, take some pictures and prepare for downhill!
    The first part is very fast, some roots and natural drops; the final parts is more difficult, with stones, be careful!
    We finally reach back the Gardesana road again, and ride to our cars.
    Very funny trip, not too hard in uphill, but with adrenalitic slopes and beautiful panarama! A full ammo bike is strongly recommended.

    occorre una buona tecnica in discesa causa fondo impegnativo e passaggi trialistici..

    la discesa di Monte Belpo è piuttosto tecnica e ben fatta, ma il fondo è perfetto, ha tenuto benissimo. mooolto divertente solo alcuni passaggi impegnativi. da ripetere quanto prima!

    Discese Freeride. Da evitare in caso di molto bagnato perche' nella seconda parte della discesa del Luppia ci sono delle lastre di pietra.
