Pedalata da Trento a Riva del Garda

Trento-Riva del Garda: the great cycle tourism itinerary of Trentino. Geographical Location The itinerary crosses the Autonomous Province of Trento, connecting the capital city to the northern shores of Lake Garda. The route mainly unfolds in the Vallagarina valley, first following the course of the Adige River and then heading towards the Garda Trentino area. Hike The journey begins from the stunning Piazza del Duomo in Trento, surrounded by elegant Renaissance façades and framed by the mountains that define the valley. The path winds along two important cycle routes: the Ciclabile Valle dell'Adige (Adige Valley Cycle Path) and the Ciclabile Adige-Garda (Adige-Garda Cycle Path), which are part of a network of over 490 km of cycle tourism paths in Trentino. The road surface is completely asphalted and maintained in excellent condition, while the signage is clear and well-placed. The itinerary is also accessible with traditional bicycles thanks to the limited gradient and elevation gain. Going into detail, the route has an altitude profile ranging from 194 meters in Trento to 65 meters in Riva del Garda, touching the highest point of 287 meters at Passo San Giovanni (San Giovanni Pass). The total distance is about 50 kilometers, which can be comfortably covered in one day. Along the way, numerous historical and natural points of interest follow one another, including the historic centers of Rovereto with its famous Mart (Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art), Mori with its medieval evidence, and the suggestive Lake Loppio. Lake Garda is the final destination of this extraordinary journey: during the summer season, it is worth bringing a swimsuit and a towel to enjoy a refreshing swim in its cool waters. ITINERARY The route starts from the historic Piazza del Duomo in Trento (194 m), from where you take Via Verdi to reach the Ciclabile della Valle dell'Adige (Adige Valley Cycle Path). After a few kilometers of cycling, you meet the first refreshment point at Bici Grill Trento. Continuing south, you pass through Mattarello and reach Calliano. Here, look up and admire the imposing Castel Beseno, one of the largest fortified complexes in Trentino-Alto Adige. The trail continues to Nomi, where the Bicigrill Asgard (179 m) is located, then arriving at the characteristic Borgo Sacco (172 m). Here it is worth exploring the streets of the historic village or taking a break at the nearby Bicigrill Rovereto (172 m), located a few hundred meters away. At the height of Mori, the second part of the itinerary begins: you leave the Ciclabile della Valle dell'Adige to take the Ciclabile Adige-Garda (Adige-Garda Cycle Path). The route crosses the town of Mori (200 m) and continues towards Lake Loppio (222 m), a biotope of particular naturalistic interest. From here, a short climb leads to the highest point of the entire journey: Passo San Giovanni (San Giovanni Pass, 287 m). After the pass, a pleasant descent begins, leading to Nago (211 m), where a stop at the viewpoint offering an extraordinary view of Lake Garda is a must. The final descent leads to Torbole (67 m), a characteristic lakeside village famous for windsurfing. From here, a relaxing ride along the lakefront accompanies cyclists to the final destination: Riva del Garda (66 m).
