It is just a 10 km drive to Lake Garda, Italy's largest lake, which is located half way between Verona and Brescia. Close to the lovely Tyrol region in the Austrian Alps and also within easy travelling distance of the Bavarian Alps in Germany, Lake Garda attracts its fair share of visitors from neighbouring countries as well as being a favourite holiday destination with Italians.

Apart from sailing, kite and windsurfing, a holiday at Lake Garda also offers outdoor enthusiasts the chance to try their hand at paragliding, horse-riding, mountain biking, climbing and hiking. The northern part of the lake is particularly suited for windsurfing and the resort of Riva del Garda is a favourite with windsurfers from around the world, together with the village of Torbole, which is also located at the northern end of the lake.

Kite surfers head a little further south to the resorts of Brenzone and Malcesine on the eastern side of the lake. Climbers on the other hand prefer Arco as their starting point, a small village located just to the north of Riva del Garda. Here the famous RockMasters climbing competitions take place and a guide books available in English lists the best climbs in the area, including the village of Marciaga near the south-eastern shore of the lake, where a number of good cliff climbs can be found.

Hikers and walkers will love Lake Garda, one of the world's great lakes and mountains terrains with easy strolls and rambles from hillside villages to picturesque valley hamlets, across vineyards and meadows for beginners and strenuous trails across the peaks for more experienced hikers at the northern end of the lake. Monte Baldo may have a cable car starting from Malcesine, but nothing compares to the sense of achievement, when hiking up to the peak instead of taking the cable car and finally being able to enjoy the spectacular views over Lake Garda.
