Monte Stivo, Santa Barbara and descent from Drena

The route

A challenging e-bike loop from Dro to the slopes of Monte Stivo, with a descent through Drena. The route climbs into the hinterland of Garda Trentino. After the first kilometers of warm-up, the route gains altitude between the woods and farms above Arco, touching the Monte Velo area, until it reaches the vicinity of Santa Barbara, on the southern slopes of the Stivo, without going as far as the summit. From here begins a long descent that crosses woods, clearings and small farms, descending through the territory of Drena and the countryside around Arco, before closing the loop in Dro. A challenging ride, designed for those who already have experience in e-MTB and are looking for a real adventure in the woods of Garda Trentino, not just a sightseeing tour. The e-bike is practically essential to tackle the continuous climb to Santa Barbara. Recommended from spring to early autumn, avoiding the hottest days given the exposure of some sections.
