Montecampione – a gem among the valleys of Brescia

This Collection is designed for experienced mountain biking enthusiasts looking to spend intense and adventurous days in northern Italy’s Prealpi Bresciane. The routes explore the Montecampione area, located just above Lake Iseo, at the entrance of Val Camonica, and bordering Val Trompia. The proposed routes start from various areas in the province of Brescia, but they all have one thing in common: they connect different areas of the Montecampione region.

These Tours are perfect for experienced cyclists, with good riding skills and solid mountain biking experience. On some sections of the tracks, riding may not be possible, and you may need to resort to portage.

There are four loops in this Collection. The Tours offer the opportunity to enjoy a beautiful day at high altitude, but if you prefer to spend a night in the mountains, you can stay at the refuges or other accommodation in Montecampione to break up the various loops and complete them over two days. I recommend taking some time to taste the local cuisine, which will give you the energy to tackle the trails!

The best time to embark on these Tours is between spring and autumn, both for the feasibility of the route and to fully enjoy the natural landscape. Check in advance for the presence of snow, especially considering the high altitudes. The association responsible for the management and maintenance of the trails in the area can provide you with detailed information about the mountain's condition. If you have any doubts, don't hesitate to contact them by phone at +39 0364 560188.

To reach the various routes, you first need to get to Brescia, which is very well-connected. You can use the A4 Milan-Venice motorway or the train. From the city, you then have two options depending on whether you want to ascend to Montecampione from Val Camonica or Val Trompia. Both are very well served by public transport to the city, and the bus station is near the train station. In the first case, get off at Pisogne, in the second at Gardone Val Trompia. From these points, you can hop on your bike.

The routes are very engaging and will introduce you to an authentically preserved and lesser-known mountain, inhabited by people who live in the mountains. It's time to saddle up: a great challenge awaits you!
