Cycling day trip from Riva del Garda to Rovereto

This cycling route takes you from the lakeside charm of Riva del Garda to the historic town of Rovereto, winding through the scenic northern Italian landscape. Riva del Garda is a pretty resort town perched at the northern tip of Lake Garda, famous for its crystal-clear waters and lush mountain backdrop — a great place to dip your feet before rolling out!

The 32 km ride is mostly on smooth paved surfaces and cycleways, with only the occasional patch of cobblestone or ground to keep things interesting. You’ll climb a total of around 400 meters, with plenty of gentle ascents (think great views, not suffering!). The route sticks mainly to quiet roads and dedicated cycle paths, making it cyclist-friendly and relaxing.

As you approach Rovereto, known for its impressive Bell of the Fallen and lively cultural scene, take time to cruise the historic center and perhaps refuel with some gelato. This ride is perfect for those seeking a day trip with a mix of lake views, mountain air, and a taste of Trentino’s rich history.
