Things to do in Lake Garda, Lake Garda: The Best Outdoor Activities
The largest of Italy’s fresh-water lakes, Lake Garda is located in northeast Italy. Tourists traveling here will find plenty of excursions and activities to keep them entertained year-round—everything from visiting hilly wine regions to exploring 14th-century castles. The towns and communities surrounding Lake Garda offer easy day trips from Venice, easily accessible by car or train. Major sights include the towns of Sirmione (which attracts most Lake Garda visitors thanks to its historic Rocca Scaligiera castle) and Riva del Garda (for the Varone waterfalls located nearby), as well as the region’s hills, which offer numerous hiking trails for adventurous walkers.

One follows via Gargnano (Gardesana Occidentale National Road SS 45bis) from the centre of Riva heading towards Limone. On the right before the tunnel, take the old road which once linked Riva del Garda with the Ledro Valley. From there one can enjoy breathtaking panoramas for once in a lifetime photo opportunities.

It is an easy walk or easy mountain bike ride that offers a spectacular and breathtaking view of the lake and the surrounding area. It is also littered with ruins from the WW1 era that can be visited, and at the very top, there is the Bar Ponale Alto which is a cafè that offers coffee, and food, which can be enjoyed on the terraces overlooking the Ponale gorge. Definitely a must see.

Amazing beach with a fabulous view. The water is clear and there's loads of space on the grass or pebbles. There's a nice cycling path behind the beach and a bar with good food. I definitely recommend it!

Awesome flat-rock beach! You have to go here if you visit Sirmione. Water is warm, clear and quiet for chilling and sunbathing...not a sandy beach though. Get yourself a pair of rock-water-shoes!

This was really amazing experience! A few kilometers of way through mild terrain and wonderful view of the mountains around and the Lago di Garda below. We started at the info point in Torbole and ended our journey in Tempesta on bus station. We stopped and enjoy the look at every point of view, so the journey took us almost three hours. By the way here is no refreshment.
