GSC: an idea born out of love for the BassoGarda area
From the synergy of a group combining different ages and generations comes GSC, a network of businesses aimed at building experiences and services related to slow mobility.
A red thread meant to hold together the bike rental and purchase point, refreshment area and bike hotel, which have sprung up over the years with the aim of contributing to the enhancement of the hinterland between Lake Garda and Mincio.
The search for a way to escape the hustle and bustle of cities and mass tourism is becoming more and more vivid: contact with nature, the authenticity of products at the table, and the importance of a trip that is slow and sustainable are the basis of the comprehensive service offered by Garda South Cycling.
The Sunshine Cycle Path
and commitment to promoting sustainability
The Mincio Cycle Path is part of the network of cycle paths in the BassoGarda area. It is integrated within the European cycle path EV7, the so-called “Ciclopista del Sole”.
The BassoGarda area is distinguished by its high environmental, cultural and naturalistic quality-a place to learn about and live in balance with nature.
Behind this project are people from different backgrounds, united by their love for the area where they live and work every day. Their commitment to promoting sustainability in the area has lasted for several years, even before they met.
From food, with organic and Km0 offerings, to a more sustainable mode of travel, with the bike hotel and bike rental, the Mincio area has begun an important journey to promote slow, locally minded tourism.
Luca Bertagna
and a passion for bikes
Luca Bertagna, after training as a bicycle touring guide, decides to become a young bicycle entrepreneur. He opens his own company, “Mincio in Bike,” which rents and sells bicycles.
Over the years he implements the business by offering bike experiences along the bike path and creating a close network of collaborations with BassoGarda accommodations. It opens two rental points along the Mincio River, in Salionze and Peschiera, and a store with a machine shop in Peschiera.
