Gita in bici di un giorno da Riva del Garda a Molina di Ledro

This cycling route starts in the picturesque town of Riva del Garda, nestled at the northern tip of Lake Garda and famous for its beautiful lakeside promenade and dramatic mountain views. From here, you’ll pedal west into the lush Ledro Valley, making your way toward Molina di Ledro, a peaceful village near the shores of Lake Ledro.

The route covers just over 100 km and serves up plenty of climbing—prepare for some serious ascents as you snake through stunning mountain scenery. You’ll ride mainly on quiet roads and some cycleways, so most of the journey is calm with only the occasional busy stretch. Surfaces are mostly paved, though expect a few brief sections of gravel and unpaved ground.

Along the way, your efforts will be rewarded with spectacular vistas, charming alpine villages, and, if you have time, a dip in the crystal-clear waters of Lake Ledro at your destination. Molina di Ledro is also known for its prehistoric pile-dwelling houses—now a UNESCO World Heritage site!

All in all, this route guarantees an amazing ride for anyone looking to experience the best of northern Italy’s lakes and mountains.
