GARDA

Garda Lake area benefits from mild temperature which grants warm winters, the perfect location for your relaxing and wellness holiday. One of the main features of the northern part of Garda Lake area is the Mediterranean climate, deeply influenced by the lake, which offers warm and mild winters. A popular destination for sportsmen during summer (ideal for windsurfing, sailing, climbing, mountain biking), which becomes a beautiful place where to spend your winter holidays, surrounded by the charming atmosphere of many local lakes, medieval castles, monuments and buildings of historical and artistic value. The huge expanse of water is divided into two different parts: the strait northern half, wild like a fjord, enclosed by overhanging mountain chains, and the wide southern field,  which includes the long peninsula hosting the city of Sirmione. The east shore is dominated by the mountain chain of Monte Baldo: Altissimo (2078 m), Pozzette (2128 m), Valdritta (2218 m), Telegrafo (2200 m). The calcareous wall welcomes an amazing succession of grazing lands, woods, rocks, little valleys and hills, cypress together with olive tree fields and vineyards, scattered houses next to tiny villages. The west side, between Riva and Gargnano, appears as a rocky cliff including irregular summits: Pari Peak (1991 m), Carone (1621 m), Denervo (1460 m), Castello, Pizzocolo (1582 m). Beyond the mountains constriction, the Lake takes another shape in the south, reaching Gargnano: the coast is overall strait and  smooth  up to the rock of Manerba (218 m). The line descends to Desenzano and Peschiera, moving upwards to Lazise, Bardolino and Garda, until S. Vigilio, conclusion of the circle. Besides Sarca, there are some minor rivers that flow into the Lake: Varone, Albola and Ponale; San Giovanni (Limone), Campione (San Michele), Brasa, Toscolano, Bornico, Barbarano. Moreover Aril, entering the Lake at Cassone, is renowned to be the  shortest river in the World (150 m). The only emissary is Mincio, exiting the Lake at Peschiera. Three regions overlook Lake Garda, each with their own individual character, landscape and culture, which also influences the local cuisine and food and wine specialities. The most typical product is the extra virgin olive oil, renowned for its lightness and delicacy, which goes well with freshwater fish from the lake and traditional country dishes of meat and polenta. The Alto Garda area is home to the unique lemon houses, which cannot be found anywhere else in the world. The citrus fruits of Lake Garda, are an important ingredient in many local recipes, including Limoncino liqueurand lemon cream of the Riviera dei Limoni, a citron-flavored beverage, and sweets. An ideal accompaniment to each dish is the excellent wine produced in the Garda vineyards: Nosiola, Merlot, Cabernet and Vino Santo in the northern areas; Classico Groppellodella Valtenesi in the southern vineyards of Bardolino and Lugana.
