Visisted the church while on a trip to a conference with a group of colleagues. The weather was lovely and the little church was amazing. We even had a picnic there. A not-too-be-missed attraction while in Riva!!

My wife and I decided to pop up to Santa Barbara church having made the shorter climb up to the Bastion initially.It's a steep ascent which took us about 50 mins. The path is very rough and loose.The church at the top is more of a Shrine really and you kinda look at it for a couple of minutes.The views would have been amazing but a fret had rolled in over the lake by the time we were at the top and we didn't see much.My wife and I went up in trainers, as people who have done a fair bit of hill walking we should have known better, the descent is quite tricky and easy to turn an ankle. Most people we passed were wearing boots and I would recommend doing the same.

After nearly 1 hour of walk we reached the Santa Barbara church. Wonderful view over the lake Garda. Nice place to visit in a sunny day to fully enjoy the view.

it's a decent walk from Riva town centre and if you allow for about three hours including stopping at the Bastion on the way up you won't be far wrong. If you are young and fit you should be able to do it in about 45 minutes to the top.This is more of a shrine rather than a church but the view is excellent at the top.

Just splendid all round and well worth the walk "climb" up to it. The views are incredible. I am 50 and going up was easy but coming down with bad knees was painful and I didn't think I would make it.Allow 4 hours for the whole trip and take lot's of water.

If you can, its well worth the 2-3 hours effort to make it up there. Not dangerous but certainly you need to be fit, nimble footed and also take plenty of hydration and nutrition.What a view when you get there though!

After a pleasant ascending walk, the effort is largely payed back by a wonderful view of the north shore of the lake and the surrounding mountains.

This is a great hike. Walking boots/ shoes are essential. The view from the church is just breathtaking and really worth the effort. Would definitely recommend.

It is a challenging walk but not beyond the ability of anyone who's moderately fit; the path is good and (amazingly, given its location) there are no precipitous drops to frighten you on the way. Take a look down the hydro-electric pipes to the lake as you pass - the view is something else. We felt it had to be done and we were really glad we did, but on a hot day, I'd start early to avoid getting very very hot.
