Lake Garda is not only the biggest lake of Italy, but also one of the most famous ones. Its formation dates back to about 10.000 years ago, when the glaciers of the Alps began to melt because of the climate warming. With a width of 4 km in the north and 17 km in the south, a length of 52 km and a depth of up to 350 m, Lake Garda covers an area of 370 km² and only its most northern part with the villages of Nago, Torbole and Riva del Garda belongs to the Trentino region. The northern localities of the lake are connected with a lovely promenade and are an ideal place for walkers, shopping lovers and relax seekers.

In this area you will find a perfect mix between the Mediterranean breeze and the fresh Alpine climate - in fact, the area is surrounded by high mountains (some of them reach altitudes of more than 2,000 m) but at the same time you will see olive and lemon trees growing all over the area. This is the reason why this part of Lake Garda is so popular among hikers, climbers and mountain bikers. Moreover, it is also the perfect venue for windsurfers and sailors as it disposes of favourable wind conditions for these sports.

If you are looking for a calm place in the middle of nature, we recommend you to visit lago di Tenno and lago di Ledro, which are near Lake Garda and were awarded with prizes for their exceptional water quality.
