Bocca Fobia, Passo Nota, Monte Corno, Dalco 112

A very technical ride on Lake Garda. We start from Limone del Garda and after 600 meters of elevation gain on asphalt we are in Vesio. We leave the asphalt to climb another 600 meters, first on a trail and then on a dirt road surrounded by greenery. Now an epic traverse awaits us, beautiful but also very exposed, with some sections where we have to push our bikes, which will take us, after many ups and downs, to Bocca di Fobia.

We descend towards the Nota pass on a very beautiful and not very technical trail (medium S2). Once we reach the road, we climb about 500 meters, passing by the former finance barracks refuge at the Nota pass and then heading south. Here we decide to push and shoulder our way up Mount Corno, with its mega-galactic panorama. It's just a pity that the trail below Corna Vecchia is only about 40% cycleable. We finally continue downhill, starting with a nice S3+ and then continuing on an unexpected S1 flow.

We climb about thirty meters towards Mount Preals and then descend along the famous trail 112. The trail descends with spectacular views of Lake Garda and is an unexpectedly manageable S4; very technical, but not extreme and not too exposed (apart from a few sections). Let's say that if you like this kind of thing, it's worth doing.
