Quick ride by bicycle from Riva del Garda to Tenno

Get ready for a rewarding climb! This ride starts out in the lively lakeside town of Riva del Garda, famous for its stunning views of Lake Garda and relaxed holiday vibe. From here, you’ll head north and up into the hills toward Tenno, a small medieval village perched above the lake.

The route is around 9 km, with almost 450 meters of climbing, so expect your legs to work, especially on the paved switchbacks as you exit Riva. The ride mixes quiet roads with a few cycleways and scenic tracks – all surrounded by olive groves and ancient stone terraces. Take a breather and soak in the panoramic glimpses of Lake Garda glimmering below.

At the top, reward yourself with a stroll through Tenno’s charming stone alleys or grab a coffee in the historic piazza. If you have extra energy, Lago di Tenno’s turquoise waters are just a short spin further. Enjoy the challenge and the scenery – it’s classic northern Italy at its best!
