Sights & Activities
Riva makes a natural starting point for a host of activities, including hiking and biking
trails around Monte Rocchetta (1575m), climbing in Arco and canyoning in the Val di
Ledro. One of the town's top highlights is the easy 7km hike along
La Strada del Ponale
(

)
, the old lakeside road, which rises up to Pregasina offering stunning lake
views the entire route.
Along the gorgeous landscaped lakefront more gentle pursuits are possible, such as
swimming, sunbathing and cycling the 3km lakeside path to Torbole. The water here is
safe for small children, and there are numerous play areas set back from the water. Like its
neighbour Torbole, Riva is well known for windsurfing and has several schools that hire
out equipment on Porfina Beach.
