More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
The day opens with the metallic hush of e-bike motors and a ribbon of lake light stretching toward the mountains. From Riva del Garda you pedal out through cobbled streets, past café terraces, and quickly trade town noise for the sharp scent of juniper and limestone cliffs that plunge into the water.

Charge and confirm e-bike settings
Ask your guide to show throttle/assist settings and charge level before departing to avoid surprises on climbs.
Footwear for mixed terrain
Wear sturdy trail shoes—the e-bike sections are forgiving but the hike includes rocky steps and switchbacks.
Hydrate and pace yourself
Carry at least 1.5 L of water and use lower assist on flats to save battery for climbs you want to tackle under power.
Time your return for the Ora wind
Afternoon Ora wind can pick up on the lake—bring a windbreaker and plan photo stops early if you prefer calmer conditions.
Helmet (provided)
A properly fitted helmet is essential and usually included by the operator.
Sturdy trail shoes
Grip and ankle support make the hike and short off-bike sections safer and more comfortable.
Hydration pack or water bottles
Keeps hands free for bike handling and ensures you have enough water for the full day.
Light windproof jacket
Afternoon Ora wind can be strong on the lake; a packable layer prevents chills after descents.
