Surrounded by imposing mountains, Riva del Garda stretches along the crescent-shaped shore, where manicured parklands and paved walking tracks provide wonderful views down the lake and access to the pebbly beaches.

Riva is the second largest town around the lake after Desenzano and the old centre is large with wide pedestrian only paved roads. The atmosphere of Riva is attractive due to its role as a centre for sport activities, families and adventurers.

The mild climate (derived from the deep lake) favours a rich and green Mediterranean flora. The water at this end of the lake is crystal clear and cool year round.
