Excursión ciclista de un día de Cles a Riva del Garda

Start your cycling adventure in Cles, a charming town nestled within the picturesque Non Valley in Northern Italy. Known for its beautiful apple orchards and stunning alpine views, Cles is the perfect launchpad for your journey.

The route to Riva del Garda spans a little over 112 kilometers, predominantly on asphalt roads, with a mix of cycleways and quiet roads making up most of the way. This adventure includes some substantial climbing with an ascent of over 1000 meters, but don’t worry, the downhill ride is even more rewarding as you’ll descend over 1600 meters towards Lake Garda.

As you pedal along, make sure to soak in the serene landscapes and, if you’re lucky, catch a glimpse of the majestic Dolomites in the distance. The highest elevation point is around 678 meters, so it’s not too daunting, especially with all the beautiful distractions.

Finally, glide into Riva del Garda, a gem at the northern tip of Lake Garda. Famous for its stunning lake views against a mountainous backdrop, it’s the perfect spot to relax after your ride. There, lakeside cafes and gelato shops await to reward your effort. Enjoy! 🚴‍♂️💨
