Lake Garda – Lombardy: lake villages, water views and flavours between Valtenesi and Brescia's Alto Garda. The Lombard shore of Lake Garda offers a varied landscape: from the rolling hills of Valtenesi to the alpine views of the Alto Garda Brescia, passing through castles, lemon groves and small ports. Water meets olive groves, vineyards, beaches and ancient villages overlooking the lake, in a context that combines nature, culture and hospitality. 🚤 Lakeside villages and different atmospheres: Each village has its own identity: Sirmione with its castle and spas, Desenzano with the port and evening life, Salò with the elegant lakefront, Gargnano and Tignale overlooking from above, Limone sul Garda nestled between the mountain and the water. The atmospheres change at each stop, between historical charm and outdoor life. 👉 Tip: Reach Sirmione early in the morning to visit the Grottoes of Catullus before the influx of tourists, then take a walk along the lakefront or a spa stop. 🚶 Scenic trails and hanging views: The area offers numerous itineraries on foot or by bike, many with a view of the lake from above. Do not miss the Ponale Path (starting from the nearby Riva del Garda) or the walks among olive trees and vineyards in the area of Padenghe and Polpenazze. The cycle paths along the banks also offer safe and scenic stretches. 👉 Tip: Walk along the lakefront of Salò at sunset: warm lights, elegant views and cafes overlooking the water make it perfect for a relaxing walk. 🏖️ Relaxation, sport and equipped beaches: The Lombard shore is ideal for sports activities: sailing, sup, windsurfing, kayaking, boat trips and swimming in clear waters. The beaches alternate between free areas and organized establishments, with services and refreshment points. In Manerba and Toscolano Maderno there are large swimming areas surrounded by greenery. 👉 Tip: Spend a day at the Rocca di Manerba: an archaeological site with panoramic views, perfect to combine with an afternoon on the beach nearby. 🍽️ Wine, oil and flavors of Garda: The Garda cuisine is rich and varied: lake fish, DOP extra virgin olive oil, citrus fruits, typical cured meats and mountain cheeses. The area is also a land of wines: Groppello, Lugana, Chiaretto, all expressions of the territory. Farmhouses and panoramic restaurants offer dishes linked to tradition and seasonality. 👉 Tip: Book a dinner on the hills of Soiano del Lago or Moniga: many farmhouses serve tasting menus overlooking the lake and zero-km products. Lake Garda in Lombardy combines the profile of the mountains with the light of the water, between culture, nature and flavors that speak with an authentic voice.
