Riva del Garda, Italy

Beautiful views from the Chapel, and well worth the hike even in the heat. Like others, I would recommend taking your own food and water. Make sure you wear suitable footwear as some of the track can be deceivingly loose under foot. Make sure you take your camera to take in the views on a clear day and capture some very active wildlife. If you put your bag down make sure you close it properly, I had a hitchhiker take cover in mine haha its also very much worth getting a glimpse at night with the spotlights on. Beautiful to look up from the square to see it lite up against the silhouette of the hills

Great hike / climb up, 1h without stops for young semi fit people, 45min down. Total vertical ascent as per Garmin GPS: 527m. Good traction shoes recommended. Great views at the top.
Trip advisor rated as the top thing to do in Riva Del Garda so this is obviously something you have to do... Well I'm not so sure this is true, I did and I loved it. However this isn't for the couch potato. To reach the Chapel there is a very good walk which at times is very steep and most of the time is over rough terrain. From Riva it's a 1.8 mile trek with a 1758 ft of assent. I would suggest walking poles especially for the decent. The views from the Chapel are stupendous while the chapel itself is a bit of a let down. While you're up there taking some photos you can rest your legs for the way down. Part way you pass the Bastion where you can grab a snack and drink. Consider taking the walk in the afternoon as the path will be in the shadow of the mountain making it a little cooler. I went up in 1 hour 2 minutes and down in 48 minutes but I did pay for it with sore legs the next day. Would I do it again, absolutely and I would aim to break the hour, would I recommend everyone to do it... Absolutely NOT.
Beautiful view over a beautiful city! Takes around one hour to walk up. Pretty nice trail that can be done in jogging shoes if it's not raining. If wet I would suggest something with better grip and support. Added some photo of the \worse\ parts of the trail. Don't think just walk up and enjoy the view!
Breath taking views. Not a walk for novices. Quite arduous in places. We'll worth the effort of a 2hr climb.
