Limone sul Garda Cycle Path

Q: Where exactly does the Limone sul Garda cycle path start?

The spectacular section anchored to the rock begins in Capo Reamol, in the northern part of the town. It is easily reachable on foot from the center by following the lakefront and Via IV Novembre.

Q: How long is the path?

If you're talking about the famous suspended path (the panoramic walkway overhanging the lake), it's about 2.5 kilometers long. It’s completely flat, very easy, and requires zero effort. However, if you start on foot from the center of Limone, it’s about 4 kilometers to reach the end (at the border with Trentino). Keep in mind that the first part through the village has a few steep climbs before you reach the spectacular section, which is entirely level. So, for a full round trip from the center, expect a nice 8-kilometer walk in total!

Welcome to what is widely considered “Europe’s most beautiful cycle path.” Opened in 2018, this extraordinary feat of engineering in Limone sul Garda offers a unique experience: walking or cycling suspended over the water, literally anchored to the rugged cliffs of the lake’s Brescian shore.

This 2.5-kilometer stretch is a journey of pure emotion. The brilliant white pillars contrast with the deep Mediterranean blue of the lake, providing an unprecedented vantage point toward Malcesine and the majestic Monte Baldo.

Useful information

To enjoy the Limone sul Garda cycle-pedestrian path without the stress of crowds—especially during the high season—a little planning goes a long way. Whether you are arriving on foot from the town center or looking for the closest parking to the cantilevered bridge, here is the essential informations.

The pedestrian path starts in Via Roma / Via IV Novembre. Following the signs for “Ciclopedonale,” you will walk through the alleys of the village for about 1.5 km before reaching the beginning of the cantilevered section.

Recommended Parking: The most strategic parking spot is the Multi-story Parking in Via Caldogno. From here, a marked walk of about 10-15 minutes will lead you directly to the entrance of the walkway.

Closest Parking to the start : If you are looking for maximum proximity, there is a small parking area at Via IV Novembre, 80. It is the closest point to the entrance, but availability is extremely limited and it fills up very early in the morning.

GPS Coordinates: 45.8276, 10.7925 (Start point of the panoramic section).

Is it suitable for families and children?

Absolutely! It’s an experience that kids truly love. The walkway was designed with the highest safety standards in mind: the railing is solid, high, and 'vertigo-proof.'

Here are a couple of practical tips for parents:

Strollers: The path surface is made of smooth concrete slats, so strollers glide along beautifully. Since it's completely flat, it’s zero effort.

On foot: If your children are walking, keep in mind that the panoramic stretch is 2.5 km long. If you add the walk from the town center, it becomes quite a long trek. My advice? Bring some water and make the most of the shaded areas, which are mostly found in the first part of the route.

Local tip: Even though the protection is excellent, it can get quite windy on the Upper Garda area. It’s a good idea to dress the little ones in layers, as the breeze can be quite chilly!

How can I get to the Limone cycling path without walking too much?

If you want to skip the uphill climb from the historic center or simply want to get straight to the point (the stretch suspended over the water), here are two clever options:

The "Secret" Parking Lot (Via IV Novembre, 80): This is the absolute closest parking spot to the entrance of the walkway. It’s incredibly convenient, but be warned: it has very few spaces. If you arrive after 9:00 AM during the summer, it’s almost impossible to find a spot.

E-Bikes: Renting an electric bike in the town center allows you to tackle the initial elevation gain effortlessly and reach the start of the walkway in just a few minutes.

What are the opening hours and ticket prices for the Limone cycling path?

The Limone sul Garda cycling and walking path is a public infrastructure with free and open access. No reservations or tickets are required to enjoy the view.

Regarding the hours, the walkway is open 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. Thanks to a modern LED lighting system integrated into the railing, the path is completely safe to walk even in the evening or at night, offering a magical atmosphere with the lake lights reflecting on the water.

Local Note: No need to pack a heavy backpack! Along the route, you’ll find drinking fountains where you can refresh yourself or refill your water bottle. It’s a highly appreciated service, especially on hot summer days, making the path both sustainable and plastic-free.
