Description
Just three minutes for an unforgettable trip!
This, in fact, is all the time it takes to reach the Venetian Bastion in the inclined panoramic lift.
The lift has a panoramic cabin made entirely of glass: a trick that allows you to admire the panorama of the centre and Lake Garda in all its splendour. The route is based on the idea of the chairlift built in the 1950s and dismantled at the beginning of the 1980s, with a few changes to the original. The current route, in fact, has been moved north, directly under the Bastion, to make the view from the cabin even more spectacular.
A few steps away is the Bastion, the Venetian tower that has become one of the icons of Riva del Garda. Built by the Serenity Republic of Venice between 1507 and 1508 to guard the border with the Episcopal Principality of Trent, today it is one of the town's most popular destinations. Those who love walking can reach the centre from the Bastion along a path that takes about 20 minutes.

Generally a really good experience. It was quite busy but we didn't to have to wait too long.

Ich wollte schon immer mal zu der Bastione nach oben und habe durch unser Hotel gesehen, dass es diesen Fahrstuhl gibt und ein Restaurant. Leider gab es keinen Tipp, dass man 1 Stunde vorher da sein sollte wegen der langen Schlange so hätten wir fast unsere Reservierung im Restaurant verpasst! Hier wäre eine zweite Schlange oder eine Art Reservierung/Restaurant Eingang geschickt!
Noch dazu musste man seine kompletten Daten angeben, was ich für ein Fahrstuhlticket ein bisschen überflüssig fand!
Die Fahrt und das Spektakel oben waren aber atemberaubend schön! Das Essen war sehr gut und der Ausblick traumhaft!
