Riva del Garda with Via Ferrata and MTB, as well as hiking in the Brenta Dolomites

Activity trip in Riva del Garda, alternative 2

Active days in Riva del Garda

On the north side of Lake Garda lie the towns of Riva del Garda, Torbole, and Arco.
A fantastic area with endless opportunities for exciting activities, both on water and on land.
Here, you are constantly surrounded by the magnificent Dolomites and always close to beautiful Lake Garda.

We at Expa Travel have organized active trips to this area for several years, and our impression is that everyone returns home with big smiles and memories for life.

On this trip, you will climb Via Ferratas, ride MTBs down from Mount Monte Tremalzo, spend the night in a mountain cabin in fantastic surroundings, and hike in the spectacular Brenta Dolomites. An active trip in wonderful surroundings!

Quick facts about the trip

The following activities are on the program:

Via Ferrata

One of the days we will hike the Via Ferrata on the mountain Cima Capi, of course well looked after by a local guide. A climbing route that is easily accessible, exciting, and spectacular!
A trip that most of the family can participate in.

MTB down Monte Tremalzo

The next day, the guide picks you up with a shuttle bus that takes you all the way up to Mount Monte Tremalzo, 1,800 meters above sea level. From here you cycle down along the mountainside on smaller cart tracks and paths, all the way back to the starting point. All the while with an unbeatable view of Lake Garda and the Dolomites to the north.
The trip takes approx. 4 -5 hours, so a stop at a mountain hut along the way for lunch is necessary.
You will probably never forget this trip, no matter how much you have cycled before.

Hiking in the beautiful Brenta Dolomites

For two days you hike in the completely unique Brenta mountains, all the while with a spectacular view. Great nature experiences in a magical mountain area. Like walking in a painting.
Accommodation in mountain huts with food service.

Relaxation days by Lake Garda

Days 1, 4, and 5 will be free days for relaxation and sun/swimming, or your own activities such as renting a bike, renting a SUP, boat trip, renting a Vespa, shopping, trip to Gardaland etc (these activities are not included in the price).
