E-bike and hiking Lake Garda from Riva: Customize your day

Ride the lakeside trails, then hike to places the bike cannot reach

A seven-hour e-bike and hiking activity from Riva del Garda on Lake Garda, where you ride electric mountain bikes along the lake and surrounding terrain, then leave the bikes for a guided hike to viewpoints and natural sites otherwise unreachable by trail. Your guide customizes both the route and the pace to match your fitness level and chooses from castles, peaks, lake-view balconies, wartime fortifications and steep adrenaline trails based on what you want to do. The guide confirms the meeting time and location 24 hours before departure.

The experience

You start in Riva del Garda itself, riding through the town before the landscape opens into nature overlooking the lake. The e-bikes handle the climbing. The electric motor means you stay fresh even on longer ascents. After roughly two hours of riding with stops for photographs, you leave the bikes behind for a short hike that goes out and back in about an hour, reaching places no bike trail reaches. Lunch happens somewhere in the middle of the day at a rifugio or restaurant you choose.

The guide's job is to know what is possible and let you decide. Ancient villages, castle ruins, peaks above the water, natural monuments, fortifications from the wars. These are the options. If you want steep terrain and adrenaline, the guide can find it. If you prefer gentler lake-view balconies and cultural stops, that works too. The route shifts based on what you tell the guide you want to do and how your body feels that day. The return to Riva is timed for mid-afternoon, leaving time for a lakeside aperitif before the day ends.

A professional local guide leads the whole activity in English, Spanish or Italian. You get a Hard Tail E-MTB (electric mountain bike), a small backpack if you need one, and the guide's knowledge of the terrain and the sites. The guide will contact you the day before to confirm where you meet, what time, and what the weather is expected to do.

Top questions

What languages is the guide in?

Live guide in English, Spanish and Italian.

What happens if it rains?

It may be canceled due to bad weather. If that happens, you're offered another date or a refund. Free cancellation up to 24 h before the start.

Can I choose what we do on the e-bike and hiking day, or is the route fixed?

The guide shows you the options (castles, peaks, steep trails, lake-view balconies, natural monuments, wartime sites), and you decide which ones you want to visit. The route is customized to your interests and your fitness level on the day.

How much climbing is there on the e-bikes, and will I get tired?

The climbs are never too challenging, and the electric motor does the heavy work, so you stay fresh throughout the ride. The guide adjusts the terrain to match your fitness, so you can ride comfortably for the full seven hours.

What happens during the hiking part of the day?

After about two hours on the e-bikes, you leave them behind and hike for roughly an hour out and back to reach places the bike trails cannot access. The hike is part of the same customized plan, so the guide picks terrain that matches what you want to see and how you are feeling.

Do I need to arrange lunch, or is it included?

You stop for lunch at a typical rifugio or restaurant during the day, and you choose which one. The guide knows the options and can recommend, but the choice is yours.

What should I know before I book this activity?

You need at least a moderate level of physical fitness. The guide will contact you 24 hours before to confirm the meeting time, location and weather forecast. Bring clothes and gear suited to a full day outdoors on a bike and on foot.
