The mountain bike highlights available at the Aktivhotel Santalucia
In 2008, Aktivhotel Santalucia in Torbole became the first bike hotel on Lake Garda, and today, as a member of Mountain Bike Holidays, it holds the PROfessional certification. From here, you set off straight onto the trails of Garda Trentino, and when you return, we take care of you and your bike. Here you will find all the tours, services and highlights at a glance.
