Bel giro! Come sempre organizzazione senza una pecca.
Bellissima la prima tappa dal Lago Resia. La terza tappa, di per sè corta, consiglio di ampliarla con un giro in Val Passiria fino a San Leonardo, partendo e ritornando a Merano per poi ripartire per Bolzano: non è troppo impegnativa e merita!
In geneale è un giro che non richiede allenamento particolare. -

La ciclabile è facile e molto ben tracciata, il tratto da Trento a Bolzano è particolarmente "pesante" in quanto la pista è monotona e in pieno sole. Bello e vario il paesaggio nella parte iniziale del percorso, meno il seguito. -

Consigliato per chi non so vuole stancare molto. Attenzione alle previsioni del vento tra Bolzano e Trento. Valutate di accorciare la tappa, ma non perdetevi Appiano. -

Hello Maddalena,
We came back yesterday from Italy and I wanted to let you know that we have really appreciated our experience. We loved the landscapes and the fact that the route was mostly on cycling path. It was perfect for our big group with a lot of children. The bikes were great and the indications were very clear. It was an almost stress-free experience (except for little parts were we got lost). I wanted to thank you for helping us in organizing that trip, you were always helpful and prompt to answer my emails and it was very appreciated.
Thank you and hoping to do another Girolibero bike trip in the future!
