Strada della Forra, located in Tremosine, Province of Brescia, is widely considered to be one of the best motorcycle roads in Italy. Linking Tremosine with the districts of Pieve and Vesio, this mountain road nestled along the side of the mountain by Lake Garda, burrowing through the ravine formed by the river Brasa.
Strada Della Forra inaugurated in 1913 is also known as Provincial Road 38 or Street of the Gorge. It was considered the 8th wonder of the world by Winston Churchill whereas Frankfurter Zeitung called it “the most beautiful road in the world.”
This twisting road also features in its fair share of film and scenes, such as breath-taking James Bond Quantum of Solace car chase and commercials for the European market of prestigious car manufacturers such as BMW and Mercedes to name a few.
