Towering over the eastern shore of Lake Garda is  Mount Baldo mountain range with the highest peaks reaching (2,078 m)The steep limestone slopes of the mountain descend to the lake in a succession of pastures, woods rocks, valleys,  trees, olive groves vineyards and a few isolated homes and villages like Limone Salò, Garda, Bardolino, Sirmione Malcesine & Lazise.

 

 

 

The local climate is softened by the presence of this large body of Lake water, which makes it comfortable for exploring the towns and villages on and close to the lake towns such as Garda, Lazise, Sirmione, Torri del Benaco, Bardolino, Limone and Peschiera which are wonderful places to visit with a great choice of hotels, B&Bs, villas and other accommodations or just for wandering around the cobbled streets filled with shops, hotels and restaurants and are home to bustling lakeside markets.

 

 

The contrast of dramatic mountains and sandy coves make Lake Garda arguably the most beautiful of the Italian lakes.  In the south, some 50 km away, you can find Hotels, and other accommodations with views that stretch right across beautiful Lake Garda.

 

 

 

 

 Malcesine Port Lake Garda

 

 

 

Lake Garda is the main Italian lake and one of the most important water reserves in Europe.

 

 

The east bank of the Lake produces olive oil and famous wines, such as Valpolicella and Bardolino. Looming above the area is Mount Baldo with its three peaks. Projecting through the last glacial sheet, its unique flora is a throwback to pre-glacial times. The rich soil and mild climate of the lake area encourages an abundance of wildlife and flora. Cedars, olives, lemon and palm trees flourish and the Gorgeous shore line offers pristine beaches.

Windsurfing at Lake Garda

 

There are two kinds of wind here: Ora and Vento. The Ora is a thermal wind which blows from the South at around midday or early afternoon. It develops when the sun warms up the mountain ranges to the North which causes the air to rise. The Ora usually reaches around 4-5 Beaufort on the northern part of Garda Lake near Torbole and Riva.
