Around Lake Garda: 5 breathtaking experiences

Around Lake Garda: 5 breathtaking experiences

If you are looking for original ideas for a unique and memorable tour of Lake Garda, continue reading this mini-guide because we will provide you with excellent suggestions for exploring the area with a touch of originality.

As we know, the Garda area is magical and varied. There are towns that directly overlook the lake (such as Sirmione, Peschiera del Garda, Bardolino or Lazise) and then there are wide territories, rich in vineyards, paths and hills all to be discovered, better if with a pinch of creativity...

In this article, then, we suggest five breathtaking ideas for visiting the Benaco by unusual means. Let's see them together!

1. Sur-Ron around Lake Garda: excitement on two wheels!

If you love adventure and fun and would like to get to know the hinterland of Lake Garda, a great idea could be to get on a Sur-Ron electric motocross bike to ride through back roads, dirt tracks and mule tracks, immersing yourself completely in nature, respecting it to the utmost.

These very special two-wheelers are in fact electric, with no environmentally harmful emissions. This, however, does not affect the power of the engine; on the contrary, Sur-Rons are high-performance vehicles, as well as being light and easy to manoeuvre. The ideal way to spend a few hours of carefree, adrenalin-pumping fun and take a truly unexpected tour of Lake Garda, don't you think?

2. A tour of Lake Garda on a Vespa, like the VIPs of the past

The Vespa is an iconic vehicle that immediately takes us back to the Dolce Vita of the 1950s and art-house cinema (remember the cult film 'Roman Holiday' with Audrey Hepburn and Gregory Peck)? This Piaggio vehicle is a true legend that you can ride independently through vineyards, hills and olive groves.

Which places to explore on a Vespa? For example:

• the north coast, from Riva del Garda towards a tour of the four lakes;
• the east coast from Malcesine towards Monte Baldo or from Peschiera circumnavigating the lake;
• the west coast, from Moniga del Garda to Monte Baldo;
• the south coast, from Desenzano towards the hills.

Tours that will allow you to admire the area and stop at the best agritourisms or the most renowned wine cellars to taste excellent local products.

3. Admiring the beauty of Lake Garda with a boat tour

A tour of Lake Garda by boat is a dream experience. It conveys a unique sense of freedom and offers a privileged viewpoint of the beauty of this area. Whether by sailing boat, or by other means (such as the speedboat and the luxurious Riva), a boat trip on the Benaco is a must on your to-do list.

If you are looking for a romantic experience, the ideal is to choose a private outing in a Riva with skipper from Garda. An activity that combines luxury and elegance, on board a vehicle that is a symbol of Italian craftsmanship, with an aperitif at sunset.

Other options to consider on a boat? For example, you can choose:

• a private excursion from Bardolino and Lazise;
• a sunset aperitif in the Gulf of San Felice;
• a tour in Sirmione (also with photo shoot).

4. A tour of Lake Garda by e-bike... very slow!

Looking for an activity suitable for the whole family? A tour of Lake Garda on an e-bike may be the perfect solution: touring Lake Garda with children will introduce you to magnificent villages and views. Thanks to the e-bike (with assisted pedalling), excursions become longer and more effortless, so that you can admire the Benaco slowly and enjoy an authentic and exciting experience.

For example, you can set off on a tour of the Valtenesi (on the west coast of Lake Garda), following an easy route, at a relaxed pace, that will take you past nature trails, beautiful vineyards and olive groves and into the Rocca e del Sasso Nature Park with a unique view of the lake.

If you love historic villages, however, you can also consider a tour of the Risorgimento Hills, on the east coast, to pass through beautiful places rich in history such as Solferino, Castellaro Lagusello and San Martino della Battaglia.

And why not combine the exploration of the area with the discovery of food and wine? In this case, you can book a bike tour with tasting of typical products in the Upper Garda area to get to know the Vione Valley and taste its traditional and seasonal foods.

5. A horseback ride through the nature of Lake Garda

The last suggestion we offer you to experience Lake Garda in an unusual way is to do it on horseback! You will have to dress appropriately (with comfortable clothes and the right equipment) and begin to get acquainted with the steed that will be entrusted to you, but once you make friends, this experience will be priceless. If you want to get to know the Benaco area better, the ideal thing to do is to try your hand at a ride through nature and historic villages in the Trentino Dolomites, crossing pastures, forests, valleys and small towns, or among vineyards and olive groves in the Valtenesi area. A relaxing activity from another era!

Other alternatives? A ride in a horse-driven carriage on country tracks, dirt roads and secondary roads.

Motocross, e-bike, boat ride... and other unique experiences on Lake Garda

A tour of the historical and geographical beauty of Lake Garda can always be combined with one or more experiences. For example, one can consider wine tastings, outdoor picnics, brunches and dinners in alpine pastures to sample typical foods after a long bike ride or after a horseback ride. There are many activities related to the discovery of taste, to be sifted according to your location (north, west, east or south coast) and obviously taking into consideration the time you have available. In this way, your trip or holiday on the Benaco will be unique and tailor-made for you.
