The hiking tour around Italy's largest lake is truly a dream trip through three Italian provinces. Starting in the alpine Trentino region, via the lemon-growing town of Limone, you'll reach the elegant Riviera in Lombardy. The return journey leads through the Veneto region and the area around Monte Baldo back to your starting point in the north, with views of the Dolomite peaks in the background. Discover the most beautiful hikes high above and along the lake, always with panoramic views of its vast expanse. Through secluded forests and lively resorts, on spectacular trails and leisurely promenades, you'll hike from one picturesque spot to the next. Enjoy the Mediterranean flair amidst the lush vegetation of colorful flowers, olive groves, fig trees, and vineyards. Peninsulas, bays, and mountain ranges – Lake Garda offers a diverse landscape and pure hiking pleasure.

Impressive heights in the Italian mountains and a Mediterranean lifestyle centered around culture and cuisine await you on a hiking holiday in Italy – regardless of whether you are drawn to Lake Garda, the Adriatic coast or South Tyrol.

A stroll along the river promenade is the best way to discover the atmosphere of the wonderful old town.

Overnight stay: Riva del Garda

Hotel example: Hotel Mirage

A transfer takes you through rocky tunnels to the starting point, where the first spectacular views await you on the Sonnensteig trail. You'll hike a short distance directly above the water on the new footpath along the cliffs. The trail then leads uphill along the mountain stream to the panoramic path, which passes the fishing museum and takes you to the picturesque village of Limone. Here, a stroll through the village center and a taste of the delicious lemon ice cream are highly recommended.
