holidays
at Garda are relaxing, and it is important to
dedicate some time to sitting beside the lake with a
book, although if you cast your eyes upwards and you’ll see that
there are some beautiful mountains waiting to be
explored. For those into serious hiking its best to head
to the northern part of the lake – here you will find
challenging routes that take you right up into the
mountains. It’s always best to embark on these trips
with some local knowledge, so pick up a trail map – also
be sure to check the weather forecast and be prepared
for inclement weather as conditions can change quickly |

At the southern
part of the lake the mountains are replaced by foothills which make for easier walking and beautiful, if less dramatic, views. For those who just want to pop up and take a peek at the mountain scenery, the
cable car at Monte Baldo is highly recommended. It will take you to this mountain’s peak which stands at over 2,000 metres,
from here you will be able to get stunning views
of the surrounding scenery and down onto Lake
Garda itself. The cable car can be accessed from the town of Malcesine.
