Nestled on the northern shore of Lake Garda, between Lake Garda and the Brenta Dolomites, Riva del Garda is the jewel in the crown of Garda Trentino.
The town and its surroundings are so rich in olive, palm and lemon trees that it feels like being on the sea (Riva del Garda is just 65 meters above sea level), but the mountains that surround it remind us that we are not far from the Dolomites of Trentino.
The township climbs up from the lake onto the rock and up to the Bastion (accessible by a short walk orpanoramic elevator), the gray stone fortress that towers motionless over this remarkably dynamic town.
This is the land of the outdoors and sports, of relaxing in the sun on the beaches, of culture with art exhibitions and open-air concerts, of Garda olive oil, of wines and wineries, of lake fish specialties, true food and wine excellences that make Riva del Garda a gourmet’s paradise.
Strong winds make Garda Trentino a popular destination for sailors and windsurfers. The sheer walls above Lake Garda, a climbing paradise. The breathtaking paths between the blue water of the lake and the blue sky of Trentino, the ideal destination for lovers of trekking, hiking and biking.
After a day of sports and outdoor activities or relaxing and sunbathing at the beach, the days grow longer and the evenings welcome people to meet in downtown clubs to toast life and its pleasures.
Riva del Garda’s location is an excellent starting point for exploring and visiting all of northern Italy. Its location is strategic: 45 minutes (50 km) from Trento, 1 hour 10 minutes (85 km) from Verona, 2 hours 10 minutes (199km) from Venice, 2 hours 30 minutes (206 km) from Milan.
Come to Riva del Garda and Garda Trentino for a vacation of pure fun!
