The elegant health resort is located in the broad Sacra valley north of Riva. Already from a distance one can see its landmark: a steep cliff with the ruins of a fortress. The old town is full of picturesque corners, throughways, fountains and portals. The old palaces and wrought-iron pavilions are particularly beautiful. Visitors who appreciate Arco's fresh air also include mountain bikers and freeclimbers. Arco is the favourite starting point for cyclists who explore the best trails in the surrounding area. Outside the town freeclimbers from all over the world use the steep cliff to demonstrate their skills. Every year the famous and exciting "Rock Master", an international freeclimbing competition, takes place here.
