MTB Soprasasso, Terlago Lake and Lamar Lakes

DESCRIPTION
Pleasant ebike excursion in the Valle dei Laghi.
The itinerary we propose is very interesting both from a historical-cultural and landscape point of view. In the first section you will have the opportunity to see some old military posts from the Great War that were part of the defense system of Trento and to admire a beautiful view of the Adige Valley. Then the lake part: Lake Terlago, which is considered a true paradise by fishermen due to the presence of numerous and valuable fish species, and the Lamar Lakes (Lake Santo to the south and Lake Lamar to the north) tourist destination and place of pleasant relaxation.
From a cycling point of view, some sections are quite technical, especially the descents, so the excursion is suitable only for trained people and not beginners.
