Franciacorta Karting Track

Set in the Brescia hills, in Bargnana (Castegnato) in the province of Brescia in Lombardy, the Franciacorta Karting Track runs an outdoor track a short drive from Lake Iseo. The site sits in a picturesque setting typical of the Brescia hills: the first pre-Alpine heights, olive groves and views over the Sebino. Easily reached from the A4 Milan-Venice motorway, it is regularly used by Brescia locals for end-of-day sessions and by Lake Iseo and Lake Garda holiday-makers looking for a motorsport break between hikes and downtime.

When it comes to driving, the outdoor track offers a rhythmic layout suited to a range of skill levels, in the picturesque setting of the Brescia hills. Several engine sizes are available, from beginner karts for kids to punchier versions for regulars used to timed sessions. Conditions follow the Lombard continental climate: drier and faster in summer, more demanding on rainy autumn days. The site welcomes family taster sessions, kids' birthday parties, stag and hen groups and corporate events from the Brescia and Bergamo areas.

Bargnana is twenty minutes from central Brescia, thirty minutes from Lake Iseo and forty-five minutes from Lake Garda. The region offers plenty more to see: Brescia UNESCO (the Roman Capitolium and the Longobards in Italy area), the Castle of Brescia and the Tosio Martinengo Pinacoteca, Lake Iseo and Monte Isola (the largest lake island in Europe), Upper Bergamo UNESCO Venetian Walls, the Val Camonica UNESCO with its rock carvings, or a side trip to the Brescia side of Lake Garda (Sirmione, Desenzano, Salò). Karting at Franciacorta is a coherent option for eastern Lombardy travellers.
