Lake Garda
 
The magic of its countryside

Lake Garda - the entrance to the south, the first tasting of the Italian way of life behind the Alps. The Lake lies beautifully embedded between high mountains, olive groves and vineyards.

Faces of the region

The region around the Lake is Alpine and Mediterranean at the same time and stupefies by its variety of countryside, vegetation and culture. The places around Lake Garda captivate their visitors with their southern atmosphere, they invite to go for a stroll, to go shopping or to simply enjoy doing nothing at all.

At the same time, this region, being full of contrasts, is one of the biggest activity playgrounds in Europe. Here you can find climbing rocks immediately next to surfing spots, mountainbike trails which end on a beach and from the top of a 2000m mountain you can watch the sailing boats on the Lake.

Climate

Lake Garda is renowned for its mild climate. Average temperatures range from 15°C in April and October to 25°C in August. In June and September the temperature averages 22°C respectively.

For "experts" spring and fall are the preffered seasons. Spring usually starts end of March - or in April latest - with all trees and flowers showing rich bloom.

In September and October the weather is almost like in summer and the lake is still warm enough to swim.

Just Relax!

The lake Garda area is not only known for pleasure and leisure, but also for relaxing. Italians are known for "dolce far niente", which means: "it's sweet to do nothing". And in this area with its beautiful landscape and blue sky doing nothing is a great pleasure.
