Where to run and cycle in Verona
Verona sits halfway between the Valpolicella hills, the Lessinia and Lake Garda: an excellent base for cycling, with good running routes along the Adige.
Where to run in Verona
Lungadige
The riverside paths running through the city are flat with long car-free stretches: the basic route of Veronese runners.
Torricelle
The hills behind Castel San Pietro offer climbs and trails a stone's throw from the centre.
Parco dell'Adige
Dirt tracks along the river north of the city, suited to long, quiet runs.
Bike rides from Verona
Torricelle
The city climb par excellence, short but intense: it was part of the circuit of the cycling World Championships held in Verona.
Valpolicella and Lessinia
Roads among vineyards and long climbs towards the Lessinia plateau.
Lake Garda
The Veronese shore of the lake in a day, or the Monte Baldo climb for anyone wanting a hard challenge.
Practical tips
The Gardesana is packed with traffic on summer weekends: better the inland roads among hills and vineyards. In the Lessinia the temperature drops a lot, so carry a wind jacket.
