Cristallo Sport & Wellness Hotel ****
Gravel bike hotel in Levico Terme / Trentino / Italy
Cristallo Sport & Wellness Hotel
The location is unique, as is the expertise: the Cristallo Sport & Wellness Hotel has an excellent reputation as a road bike hotel and is increasingly establishing itself as a top-class gravel bike home base in South Tyrol. No wonder, as biking is a top priority here. The historic spa town of Levico Terme on the almost unspoilt Levico Lake is the starting point for numerous tours through the Valsugana. The best tour tips for a gravel bike holiday on Lake Levico are provided by the host himself. Well-asphalted and low-traffic panoramic roads meet cult routes, old military roads meet beautiful lakes and plateaus.

From the wild Valsugana to the quiet oasis of relaxation
After a sporty and active day on a gravel bike or hire e-bike, head to the new relaxation oasis with sauna and pool area at the foot of the majestic Dolomites. Or simply relax in the cosy natural Swiss stone pine rooms - awarded the "Natureplus" certificate. The alpine flair of the sustainable hotel manages the balancing act between tradition and modernity - and the restaurant also reinterprets the culinary traditions of Trentino. Only regional and natural products are served: Apples from the Non Valley, olive oil from Lake Garda, organic juices and jams as well as eggs from local farmers.
Satisfaction
Gravel bike expertise
I turned my passion into a profession over 15 years ago. With me, you get first-hand tips and tricks. I can be found on two wheels in the valley as well as in the mountains, on tarmac as well as on gravel roads and single trails, and I know my way around!
Gravel bike expertise at the Cristallo Sport & Wellness Hotel
Life is like riding a bike: If you want to keep your balance, you have to keep moving!
If you live in the world-famous Dolomites and get your first bike at the age of six, your path is probably already mapped out. So it's no wonder that hotel manager Daniele Acler has been exploring the Trentino region on his two-wheeler since he was 18. The host is a passionate racing cyclist - no wonder, with these legendary mountain passes right on his doorstep - but has also long since discovered a love of gravel biking and mountain biking for himself and his guests. His favourite bike tour is the challenging Passo del Manghen tour; in between he rides on the gravel roads of the region, in the vineyards, around alpine lakes and on the trail of the Giro d'Italia.
"Road cycling and gravel biking are a passion for me, I need them as a balance to everyday life. I also love going on tours with my guests or sharing interesting insider tips after dinner," says Daniele, a local expert. As is so often the case, the fine art lies in the details - attention, hospitality and service meet expertise and genuine passion at the Cristallo. This mix makes it easy for guests to relax and enjoy their sport.
