On SUP with a view of Monte BrionePhoto: Archivio Garda Trentino (ph. Watchsome), Garda Trentino
An intermediate level tour with marvellous views which follows the northern shore of Lake Garda as far as Torbole and allows you to apreciate the beauty of the lake shore close up
While you are out on the water, if you look closely you will see what is called the water line: the point where the currents of the River Sarca meet those of the lake, with little ripples and a clear difference in the colour of the lake and river water.
Watch out! If you decide to go out on the water in the morning, keep an eye on the conditions of the wind known as the "Pelèr" which blows in the early part of the day. Always check the weather forecast.
Author’s recommendation
The mouth of the River Sarca is home to many ducks and swans which will come looking for food.
Derived from the technical difficulty and the stamina requirements.

- Inform yourself about local regulations. When in doubt, ask for the advice of specialised guides and local people.
- In case of solo trips, inform someone about your planned itinerary and departure time.
- Only use boats and gear appropriate to your abilities and wear a CE certified lifejacket.
- Maintain the safety distance from public transportation crafts, respect right of way rules and do not cross the course of motorboats to avoid accidents and fines.

Roadbook
Once you get to the marvellous blue bay, always busy with surfers of every age, continue on across the mouth of the River Sarca in the municipality of Torbole where a small stretch of reed beds remains which still shows how the lake front originally looked.
Continue on, admiring the busy beach of Torbole, paddling in front of Pavese Park, until you come to the area called Conca d'Oro, right beside the impressive Adige-Garda tunnel. The beach was actually built using the rubble which came from the excavation of the tunnel through which the River Adige flows into the lake and is open in periods of flood in order to allow water to drain away. The beach is the perfect place to catch your breath before heading back again, cutting across the lake to the point where you started from.
