Cycling day trip from Pieve di Ledro to Riva del Garda

This cycling route is a real adventure, winding from the peaceful lakeside village of Pieve di Ledro all the way to the bustling shores of Riva del Garda. Starting in Pieve di Ledro, nestled beside the gorgeous blue of Lake Ledro, you’ll quickly realize why this village is beloved by outdoor enthusiasts. The ride mixes everything: expect smooth rolling sections, some honest climbs (there’s serious elevation gain and loss!), and the odd stretch on quiet roads threading through lush forest and small valleys.

You’ll switch surfaces here and there—most paths are nicely paved, but you’ll also encounter a few gravel or ground sections, so sturdy tires are a plus. Along the way, breathtaking alpine panoramas and sparkling glimpses of Lake Garda reward your efforts.

Your finish line is Riva del Garda, a vibrant lakeside town known for its Mediterranean flair, gelato spots, and epic windsurfing scene. Grab a post-ride espresso at the waterfront—you’ve earned it! This route is a classic if you want a long day of challenging climbs, sublime scenery, and a true taste of Trentino on two wheels.
