Lake Garda has long attracted artists, poets, politicians, and royalty to its glittering shores – and for good reason. Located in the leafy north and fringed by the mighty Dolomites, it’s possibly the most beautiful of all the Italian Lakes. Let this walking holiday introduce you to Garda’s green hills, vineyards, and characterful collection of lakefront towns and villages. Highlights include hiking on Monte Baldo, and enjoying a boat trip across to Malcesine – a medieval town clinging to the rocks on the lake’s eastern shore.

  • Soaking up the 360-degree views on the Monte Baldo cable car

Arrive at your hotel in Limone sul Garda. Unpack and settle in. Stretch your legs along the picturesque promenade hugging Lake Garda

Limone sul Garda is a small pearl located on the western side and is the most northerly town on the lake. With its inviting promenade and picturesque cobblestone alleys this old town has attracted visitors for hundreds of years. The mediterranean landscape dotted with olive and lemon trees is a perfect environment for walking

Since the late 1990s the old Ponale road has been used only by walkers and mountain-bikers. It is one of the main attractions of upper Garda and offers great views of the lake. Deep in the heart of the valley are the emerald Alpine waters of Lake Ledro surrounded by mountains and forests.

Enjoying a boat trip across the lake we head to the medieval town of Malcesine situated on the lower slopes of Monte Baldo. This is one of the most attractive towns on the shores of Lake Garda with its cobbled streets overlooked by the beautiful Castello Scaligero. Our walks from the town take in some wonderful panoramic views

You’ll have a free day to explore the area around Lake Garda as you please, or simply relax at the hotel.  

Limone sul Garda – the lakeside town where we’re staying is well worth further exploration. The waterfront restaurants offer typical dishes with stop-and-stare views while its cobbled streets lead you to historic delights like the Church of San Benedetto Abate and San Rocco. There’s also the open-air museum, Limonaia del Castel, an 18th century lemon house.  

Garda Cycle Path – fringing the entire shore of Lake Garda, you can walk or cycle your way between towns.  

Lake Garda’s beaches tempt with azure waters and mountain views, especially those around Limone sul Garda. Pebble beaches like Grostol, Fonte Torrente San Giovanni, and Cola provide an idyllic place to relax.  

Riva del Garda – a day trip to another of Lake Garda’s gems, Riva del Garda, tempts with impossibly scenic mountain and lake views thanks to its location at the end of the lake. A stroll around the historic centre will lead you to its medieval fortress and Torre Apponale. 

Today we head to the beautiful town of Arco with its distinctive remains of a medieval castle perched on a rocky outcrop above the olive groves and the town's historic centre. Both walks start from Arco. In the past it was a fief of the Roman Empire while in 1804 it became part of Austrian rule. After changing hands several times Arco finally became part of Italy in 1918.
 

On the Trentino side of Lake Garda, our walks take us to Lake Tenno and the medieval town of Canale di Tenno. Pretty Lake Tenno has a nearly perfect round form and is surrounded by trees at the foot of Monte Misone. Canale di Tenno is an ancient town which remains mostly intact from the first written records listing it in 1211. Cobbled lanes, stone houses sitting closely together, arches and small squares create a medieval atmosphere.

Transfer to the airport for your flight back home.
