Rent a bike in Riva del Garda: rates, routes and tips
Discover Riva del Garda by bike and ride where the lake meets the mountains. At the northern tip of Lake Garda, framed by dramatic cliffs and Alpine peaks, Riva is one of Italy's great outdoor capitals — a paradise for cyclists of every kind, from families on the lakeside path to mountain bikers chasing high trails. Renting a bike in Riva del Garda opens up some of the most spectacular scenery on the whole lake.
The best rides when you rent a bike in Riva del Garda
The unmissable ride is the old Ponale road, a former military road carved into the cliffs high above the lake — now a stunning cycle and mountain-bike route with jaw-dropping views towards Riva and the water below. Along the shore, the Garda by Bike path links Riva with Torbole and continues south towards Limone. For quieter escapes, ride up to the peaceful Lake Ledro or the medieval village of Tenno and its emerald lake — climbs where an electric bike is a joy.
Which bike should you rent in Riva del Garda?
- Electric bikes — the easiest way to enjoy the Ponale and the mountain roads.
- Mountain bikes — for the legendary trails of the northern lake.
- City bikes — for the flat lakefront and the shore path.
- Road bikes — for the classic Alpine climbs around Garda.
On Lokki you can compare local bike rental shops in Riva del Garda in a few clicks — models, sizes, prices and real customer reviews — and book online in advance so your bike is ready when you arrive. Rates start from around €10 a day, with better prices for weekends and longer rentals.
A few tips before you set off: the Ponale and the trails can be busy and exposed, so start early, carry water, and always wear a helmet. Then simply climb above the lake and take in one of the finest views in Italy.
