Sortie rapide à vélo de Arco à Riva del Garda

This is a super pleasant ride from Arco to Riva del Garda—perfect for a relaxing morning or afternoon spin! Starting in Arco, a charming town known for its dramatic limestone cliffs and historic castle, you’ll find yourself pedaling mostly on smooth cycleways and quiet roads (over 85% is paved and cyclist-friendly!). Follow the Sarca River south, winding through lush orchards and enjoying alpine views.

There’s only a gentle climb of about 40 meters, followed by a nice little descent as you get closer to the lake. You’ll cruise along a stretch of cobblestones as you arrive in Riva del Garda, which just adds a bit of character. Riva is a beautiful lakeside town famous for windsurfing, gelato, and its postcard-perfect waterfront—so park your bike, take a stroll on the promenade, and maybe enjoy an espresso with a view of Lake Garda. Total ride time is just over an hour at a leisurely pace; it’s the ideal route for soaking in the scenery!
