Cycling day trip from Torbole sul Garda to Rovereto

This scenic cycling route takes you from the lakeside town of Torbole sul Garda to the charming city of Rovereto, covering about 21 km mostly on smooth asphalt and dedicated cycleways—so it’s perfect for a relaxed ride.

You’ll start from Torbole, a windsurfing hotspot right on the northern tip of Lake Garda, known for its lively waterfront and beautiful mountain views. The route winds gently uphill (with a total ascent of 357 m) as you leave the lake behind, following the Sarca and Adige river valleys. You’ll pedal past olive groves and through picturesque Italian villages, mostly on quiet roads and cycleways—so traffic won’t get in your way.

The journey wraps up in Rovereto, a city with a delightful mix of Austrian and Italian influences, famous for its museums and the historic Mart contemporary art museum. Expect a pleasant descent as you near your destination, and take some time to enjoy an espresso in one of Rovereto’s elegant cafés before heading back or exploring further!
