RANDONÈE TOUR OF THE LAKE

The Randonée – Tour of the Lake is a self-guided route where you can explore the area at your own pace.

You can choose between two routes: 147 km and 200 km.

On the longer route, you’ll find two refreshment stops: Limone del Garda (km 57) and Ala (km 108).

On the shorter route, there is one refreshment stop: Limone del Garda (km 57).

The checkpoints are as follows:

  • Desenzano del Garda (start)
  • Limone del Garda (at the refreshment stop)
  • Ala (at the refreshment stop – only for the longer route)
  • Desenzano del Garda (finish)

 

At the end of both the tours, a final refreshment point is waiting for you, from 3.00 pm to 6.30 pm, in Desenzano del Garda, Lungolago Cesare Battisti (Departure point).

CLICK HERE TO VIEW PARTICIPATION LIMITS

Following numerous requests to ensure equitable participation, the organizers have decided to set a registration limit for each country. Once the registration limit for a given country has been reached, registration will close for that country, regardless of the scheduled closing date.

If the available spots in one of the indicated countries are filled early, new paying registrants will be placed on a waiting list until March 20, 2027, when spots from countries that have not reached capacity will be made available, based on the chronological order in which registrations were received. If no spots are available, the registration fee will be fully refunded, including any fees paid to Endu.
