Riva del Garda
Trentino-Alto Adige
At the head of Lake Garda where the Alps close in around the water, Riva del Garda combines a lakeside beach and old-town harbour with cliffs rising almost straight from the shore behind it. A reliable daily thermal wind cycle (the ora in the afternoon, the peler in the morning) has made it one of Europe's best inland windsurfing and sailing spots.
