Getting Around Ledro
Pre-book via Whatsapp for fixed price. Cash only on some routes. Splitting with another traveller cuts costs significantly.
Get off at Rovereto, not Mori, as bus 214 from Rovereto is direct. The train is scenic through the Adige valley. Buy regional tickets for flexibility.
Book online at least 24h before. Shuttle drops at Riva, then take bus 214 from Riva to hotel. Cheaper than taxi but less direct.
Buy tickets at the bus station or tabacchi in Riva. Validate on boarding. Buses run more frequently in summer; last bus leaves Riva around 8pm.
