Spectrum: On Friday, the mountain bike scene starts the new bike season with the Bike Festival Garda Trentino. From April 28th to May 1st, Lake Garda is all about mountain biking. But it's not just the huge Expo area that's attractive: there are also numerous competitions on the program as part of the festival.
For many years, the MTB scene has been looking expectantly to Riva at the end of April / beginning of May: on this date, the bike season traditionally opens at Lake Garda! Almost all well-known manufacturers and brands will present their latest products - the spectacle on Lake Garda is therefore rightly considered to be a guide for the trends of the coming season. One thing is certain: This year the MTB mega event will be no exception. The expected almost 40.000 visitors can look forward to very entertaining days.
The Bike Festival Garda Trentino 2017 is rounded off by a rich supporting program and exciting races. The sporting highlights include the Rocky Mountain Bike Marathon and the Scott North Lake Enduro race. Almost 2.500 starters - including professionals - from over 30 countries will be at the start of the marathon. There are four different routes to choose from, from the moderate Ronda Facile at 28,63 kilometers to the tough Ronda Extrema at 90,43 kilometers.
Other side events as part of the festival are the Garda Trentino Pump Battle at La Rocca and the Bosch eMTB Challenge. The young riders also get their money's worth: the stars of tomorrow can get a taste of competition at the Scott Junior Trophy. Another tip for the weekend: At the spectacular Tom Oehler Trial Show presented by Crankworx Innsbruck & Kenda, the spectators will be shown what is technically possible with a mountain bike. It's worth watching!
