Lago di Garda Cycle Hire
Posted: Tue April 22, 2008 11:57 AM UTC
Hi
Does anyone know anywhere to hire bikes around the lake. We will be in Malcesine but thought it would be great to hire them for a few hours anywhere on the lake. We will have our daughter with us so they would need to do kids bikes or tag along ones (shes only 6 but can ride). I had heard about some nice (flat!) routes on paths round the lake, is this right? Thanks

Anyway, look here for Riva del Garda:

And here for Malcesine

Not everyone will probably rent, but most of them (and others) will do.
Enjoy!
Francesco

There's a great cycle path between Riva del Garda/Torbole and Arco, about 5km each way (sorry I can't recall exactly where it starts but it's on the Via Gardesana somewhere!) - it's traffic free and quite flat, should be okay for a 6 year old. Lots of fruit trees along the way for your daughter to identify! Arco itself is worth a visit too. Another nice flat traffic free cycle would be between Garda and Bardolino - again lots to see on the way and plenty of cafes to stop for refreshments. We walked in both cases, but I do remember seeing cycle hire available in Riva and in Garda.

Thanks for the tip that sounds ideal. Sounds like the Riva & Garda are the places to head.
Thanks
