The ride up to the fort on Monte Brione offers a good 20-30min ride with some decent elevation change, and when you reach the fort, you can enjoy a break-taking view of Lake Garda above Torbole-Riva (Monte Brione divides the two towns). A bit further along the asphalt road, on the left you will find the MTB path sentiero 770 which is a single-track on medium difficulty for DH riding, total length of the ride about 3'. We are frequently in Riva for pleasure, and this bike trip on Monte Brione is very good for a 40' training session on the MTB with some downhill bits.…

We walked up to Monte Brione starting from Porto San Nicola. A bit of an uphill plod in places but views over Riva and Torbole were great. Called in at Forte Garda for a free visit. Chucked it down with rain half way through the walk so got soaked!

About an hour long walk to the top. Not too hard but very hot temperature could bring some challenge to the trip. Really nice scenery all through the trail and the top of the hill is a cherry on the cake. Would recommend to do this early in the morning with less tourists and cooler temperature…

We walked up this mountain and a warm day and it offers fantastic views of the lake and surrounding area, wear good shoes and be prepared to feel more like climbing than walking, #once at the top we took the long winding road ( for cars ) back it was easier to come down that way but took longer.…
