proprietà dell'A.P.T. del Garda trentino

Garda Trentino is the first region with a Mediterranean climate and flora that you find in Europe travelling south. Lake Garda brings us the gift of a last and unexpected breath of Mediterranean before reaching the passageways of the Dolomites heading north. Here, the intense blue of Lake Garda touches the mountains. Lake Garda, at Riva, is uniquely charming. The water is deeper blue, the sunlight is more intense and the air, invigorated by the nearby mountains is clearer. Riva is surrounded by a rich Mediterranean vegetation: olive-lemon-palm and laurel-trees which brighten up the changing of the seasons. At one time, Goethe, Kafka, Mann and Rilke found inspiration for their genius precisely here. Today, the same atmosphere and natural beauty has remained intact.

In Riva, where the lake comes to an end making room for imposing Dolomites of Brenta the tourist can savour the pleasure of a holiday made from a thousand ingredients: history, art, sports and nature. The activities offered by this splendid last-bit of Mediterranean, so unexpectedly close to the Alpine region, are countless. The spectacular encounter of diverse natural surroundings - the lake and mountain - allows a vast choice between different water, air and land sports. Within everybody's reach are excursions by foot or bike, visits to castles - one of the closest is Arco's castle - and museums, churches and breathtaking views. If this isn't enough, you can visit one of the nearby destinations, some of them easily accessible in a day by car/bus. The choice is up to you!
