Gravel Garda Trentino

In 2027 the gravel race of the Bike Festival Riva del Garda joins the UCI Gravel World Series for the first time, closing the festival weekend with a race that puts elite riders and amateurs on the same start line and gives the top finishers in each category a chance to qualify for the UCI Gravel World Championships.

Starting and finishing in Arco, the course heads up the Valle del Sarca on gravel roads, fast sections and climbs, in the corner of Trentino where Alpine scenery meets the Mediterranean feel of Lake Garda. The 2026 edition, a ride with timed segments, drew around 200 riders along the Sarca river and through the Valle dei Laghi.
