Cycling day trip from Rovereto to Riva del Garda

This scenic ride starts in Rovereto, a charming city with deep roots in art and history, nestled in the Lagarina Valley. You’ll soon find yourself pedaling westwards through a beautiful landscape of vineyards, gentle hills, and old villages. The route is mostly paved and delightfully cyclist-friendly, with over half your ride on dedicated cycleways and plenty of quiet roads—so it’s perfect for a relaxed, worry-free exploration.

There’s a gentle 300-meter climb along the way, but don’t sweat it—the gorgeous mountain and valley views make every pedal stroke worth it. After cresting the highest point, you’ll enjoy a long, smooth descent into the lakeside haven of Riva del Garda. This picturesque town on the northern shore of Lake Garda is renowned for its dramatic mountain backdrop, lively piazzas, and windsurfing scene.

The route blends the best of Trentino’s lush countryside with a touch of adventure, and you end right where turquoise waters meet steep, craggy cliffs—ideal for a gelato and some lakeside relaxation after your ride.
