IMPORTANT!

Monte Isola has instituted a ban on the landing and transit of velocipedes/monopeds from outside the territory of the Municipality of Monte Isola during the following periods:

– from March to September: on pre-holidays and holidays;
– in August: every day.

Exceptions to this prohibition, and thus remain authorized to circulate, are:

• if driven by residents
• if driven by non-residents provided that the vehicles are already on the municipal territory or disembarked outside the days subject to the prohibition (e.g. rentals, owners of second homes, vehicles of hotels and residences granted for the use of clients)
• if they serve persons with (certified) reduced mobility

As of June 1st, 2025, velocipedes and monopeds of users holding a reservation at an accommodation facility (Restaurants/Hotels/B&Bs/Holiday Homes or similar) based in the Municipality of Monte Isola, may only disembark and transit during the periods in which the ban is in force if they are hand-operated. The reservation must always be available and shown at the request of the local police officers and the exemption will be valid only for the days of the reservation and for one velocipede or electric scooter per person. The reservation must state the name of the accommodation facility, the name and surname of the person making the reservation, the number of people booked (which must correspond to the maximum number of vehicles), the day the reservation starts and ends.
