    Trento-Riva del Garda: the great cycling route of Trentino.

    The journey begins from the suggestive Piazza del Duomo in Trento, surrounded by elegant Renaissance facades and framed by the mountains defining the valley. The route follows two important cycling arteries: the Adige Valley Cycle Path and the Adige-Garda Cycle Path, which are part of a network of over 490 km of cycling routes in Trentino.

    The road surface is fully asphalted and well maintained, while the signage is clear and well positioned. The itinerary is also accessible with traditional bicycles thanks to the limited gradient and elevation gain.

    Specifically, the route has an altitude ranging from 194 meters in Trento to 65 meters in Riva del Garda, reaching the highest point of 287 meters at Passo San Giovanni. The total distance is about 50 kilometers, comfortably covered in one day.

    Along the way, there are many points of historical and natural interest, including the historic centers of Rovereto with its famous Mart (Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art), Mori with its medieval testimonials, and the picturesque Lake Loppio. Lake Garda is the final destination of this extraordinary journey: during the summer season, it is worth bringing swimwear and a towel for a refreshing dip in its cool waters.

    Roadbook

    The route starts from the historic Piazza del Duomo in Trento (194 m), where Via Verdi is taken to reach the Adige Valley Cycle Path. After a few kilometers of cycling, the first refreshment point is found at Bici Grill Trento.

    Heading south, you pass Mattarello and reach Calliano. Here, look up and admire the imposing Castel Beseno, one of the largest fortified complexes in Trentino-Alto Adige. The route continues to Nomi, where Bicigrill Asgard (179 m) is located, then arrives 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 just a few hundred meters away.

    At Mori starts the second part of the itinerary: leaving the Adige Valley Cycle Path to take the Adige-Garda Cycle Path. The route passes through 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 route: Passo San Giovanni (287 m).

    After the pass, a pleasant descent leads to Nago (211 m), where a stop at the panoramic point offering an extraordinary view of Lake Garda is a must. The last 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).
