Gita in bici di un giorno da Molveno a Riva del Garda

Get ready for a memorable ride from the jewel-blue waters of Lake Molveno down to the sun-soaked shores of Riva del Garda! This nearly 49-kilometer route is a true feast for both the legs and the eyes. Starting in Molveno, a picture-perfect alpine town known for its crystal-clear lake and dramatic backdrop of the Brenta Dolomites, the journey heads south with plenty of ups and downs. Expect to climb over 1200 meters in total, but the real treat is the long, winding descent—you’ll drop more than 2000 meters as you pedal toward the Mediterranean climate of Lake Garda.

The path is super varied: over half is smooth asphalt, but there’s a good chunk of gravel and unpaved sections, so a gravel or mountain bike is your friend here. You'll cruise along quiet roads and cycleways, dodging busy traffic for most of the journey.

Arriving in Riva del Garda, you’re in for a vibrant lakeside vibe, perfect for a gelato to celebrate. Don’t forget to take in the view: with the mountains on one side and Lake Garda on the other, it’s the kind of finish every cyclist dreams about!
