Travel deals Peschiera - holiday with fascinating faces!

Bordered in the north by the Dolomites of Brenta and in the south with the gentle slopes of the Morainic Hills, lies the captivating Lake Garda. A mild climate and Mediterranean vegetation are characteristics of this olive and lemon tree-lined landscape. At 55 km long and up to 17.5 km wide, Italy's largest lake was created during the ice age. Whether swimming, hiking or simply relaxing, every holiday traveller will find what their heart desires. The sometimes strong northern wind makes the north shore a paradise for water sports fans ready to put their abilities to the test. The majestic 30-km Monte Baldo massif on the eastern shore invites guests to explore and take hiking, mountain biking, or climbing tours with stops in the rustic mountain villages. The southern part of Lake Garda presents a more mellow atmosphere by comparison, with gently sloping vineyards and olive groves. To see the big picture, we recommend the spectacular tour around the entire lake - after 160 km, you'll be absolutely convinced of the beauty and diversity of this region!
