Excursion à vélo d’une journée de Trente à Rovereto

Roll out from Trento’s handsome old town (home to the Council of Trent and Castello del Buonconsiglio) and hop onto the Adige River cycleway heading south. It’s an easy, mostly flat 25.5 km spin with only about 46 m of climbing, almost entirely on smooth asphalt cycle paths and a few quiet roads.

You’ll cruise through vineyards and apple orchards of the Vallagarina, with Monte Bondone looming to the west. Look up near Besenello for Castel Beseno, the massive hilltop fortress watching over the valley. There are plenty of riverside spots to pause for a snack or coffee along the way.

Glide into Rovereto via calm streets. The town’s a gem for art lovers—don’t miss MART (the Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art) and Casa Depero—and history buffs can detour to the Campana dei Caduti (Peace Bell) above town. A classic, relaxed Trentino river ride, perfect for any day you want big scenery without big effort.
