Giro Express 2023 - Ep. 16 - Sabbio Chiese - Monte Bondone

Stage 16 of the GiroExpress starts from Sabbio Chiese and ends at Monte Bondone. Ilaria begins her journey in Sabbio, from the Rocca dating back to 1400, an important castle overlooking the Valley which was transformed into a Marian sanctuary in the first half of the 1500s. She continues towards Limone, one of the most visited tourist destinations on the lake where the Garda cycle path begins, a unique cliffside pedestrian cycle path that juts out about 50 meters above the water level, anchored to the rock face. Passing through Rovereto, a visit to the Mart, the famous museum of modern and contemporary art of Trento and Rovereto, is a must. Shortly after, it's the turn of Trento, a Central European city in the heart of the Alps, which hosts prestigious museums from Palazzo Roccabruna dating back to the mid-1500s, today an exhibition venue for typical local products, to the contemporary Muse-Science Museum designed by Renzo Piano. Our guide continues towards the Val di Non, famous for the production of DOP brand apples. But in addition to history, culture and typical products, Trento has a dense network of cycle paths, from Lake Garda to the Dolomites. Among the Trentino climbs, there is the legendary Charlie Gaulle climb, on Monte Bondone where today's Giro ends.
