Garda Trentino is a real paradise for cyclists of all kinds: whether you want to cruise along gravel paths or cycle leisurely along the crystal-clear shores of one of the many lakes, 2,500 kilometers of cycle paths await you here, many of which are even accessible in winter. Mountain bikers can look forward to the trails in the Trail Center Pietramurata, a tour to the summit of Monte Casale or the legendary Tremalzo Pass adventure (Route 779). By the way: you can also explore many routes effortlessly on an e-bike.
Road cyclists will find challenging, varied climbs and ever-changing views. If you prefer to cycle through the countryside at a more relaxed pace, Garda Trentino offers numerous cycle paths and small country roads - ideal for exploring the region at your own pace and discovering its most beautiful sides!
From spring to fall, the waters around Garda Trentino are a real Eldorado for anyone who loves water sports. The north of Lake Garda is the windiest region: thanks to the Ora and Pelèr winds, which change daily, the conditions here are perfect for sailors, windsurfers and wingfoilers. SUP, canoeing and kayaking fans can explore the shores of Lake Cavedine and Lake Ledro, where they can discover particularly charming corners. In Lake Ledro and Lake Terlago, you can also get your money's worth with wakeboarding.
If you fancy a special adventure, you can try canyoning in the Valle di Ledro - two streams, the Palvico and the Rio Nero, are ideal for this. On hot summer days, the region's lakes are also ideal for swimming - the perfect way to cool off and then relax on the beach or in the shade of the trees on the meadows. And if you get the fishing bug, you can try your luck in the Sarca river in the Comano area. In short: wherever there's water in Garda Trentino, there's never a dull moment!

In Garda Trentino, families have many opportunities to enjoy exciting and fun experiences in nature: quiet walks with a view of the lake, more challenging hikes in the countryside, family-friendly bike tours and easy rock climbing routes for young climbers. Between beaches with white pebbles, lakes with shimmering water, works of art made from natural materials in the middle of the forest along the Ledro Land Art and Bosco Arte Stenico hiking trails and many breathtaking natural spectacles, including the gigantic Marmitte dei Giganti and the ten glacial fountains on the Antonio Stoppani Geological Trail, there really is something to marvel at around every corner!
There are also plenty of opportunities for learning: Discover the pile dwellings of Ledro and Fiavé together with your children and immerse yourself in the life of people in prehistoric times, follow in the footsteps of dinosaurs in the Marocche Nature Park, imagine you are a knight as you stroll through the halls of a castle or take a walk through an exciting open-air gallery. Particularly curious kids can spend a day on an educational farm, where you can experience animals up close and learn a lot about life in the mountains.
In addition to outdoor-friendly accommodation options and practical services for anyone who likes to be active outdoors - such as a network of "bike stops", repair stations for bicycles and charging stations for e-bikes - the APT Garda Trentino also actively ensures that your stay is pleasant and safe all round. The "Outdoor Park Garda Trentino" project was launched in 2009 with the aim of maintaining and constantly improving the outdoor infrastructure in the entire region.
A team of professionals has been in place since 2022: the so-called "Garda Rangers". They are dedicated to checking and regularly maintaining all the hiking trails, cycle routes, climbing rocks and via ferratas in the outdoor park so that you can enjoy your adventures in Garda Trentino safely at all times.

A culinary tradition that smells of authenticity and real nature
But the local cuisine also reveals traces of the Austro-Hungarian past: Bohemian gnocchi - potato dumplings filled with plums - and livanze, small pancakes served with powdered sugar and jam, are just some of the recipes that hark back to the time of exile of the population from the Ledro Valley.from the Ledro Valley (and other parts of Trentino) to Bohemia and Moravia during the First World War. You can still try these dishes today during your active vacation in Garda Trentino.
If you are in the area between Arco, Tenno and Varone, you should not miss out on a specialty with particularly ancient roots: Carne Salada - thinly sliced, seasoned beef served raw with a little local olive oil and Parmesan shavings or cooked.
And what goes better with it than an aromatic glass of wine? The best known is Nosiola, but there are many other varieties waiting to be discovered in the region's wineries and wine shops. The Nosiola grape is also used to make the famous Vino Santo Trentino DOC, one of the best dessert wines in Italy and the symbol of the Valle dei Laghi. The valley is also known for its grappa and other artisanal distillates, which you should definitely try!
Thanks to the mild climate, the northernmost olive trees in the world (with regular harvests) grow on the sun-drenched slopes of Garda Trentino. The extra virgin olive oil produced here - which has been awarded the DOP seal since 1998 - has a light, fruity taste and is sure to delight you.
