Riva del Garda

Chiesa Santa Barbara, situated above Riva del Garda, is a small yet striking chapel offering panoramic views of Lake Garda and the surrounding mountains. Built by workers constructing hydroelectric tunnels in the early 20th century, it is accessible by a challenging but rewarding hike starting from the Ponale Road. Photographers will appreciate the chapel’s rustic charm juxtaposed against the dramatic natural landscape. Visit at sunrise for stunning light conditions and fewer crowds. The setting includes captivating perspectives of both the tranquil lake waters below and the rugged alpine peaks, ideal for capturing serene yet dramatic compositions.
