Hikers' Paradise at Lake Garda - fascination adventures between Etschtal and Lake Garda

The locals of "Lago di Garda" and frequent Lake Garda vacationers agree: the many contrasts make hiking around Lake Garda a special natural experience. Mediterranean flora, vinyards, olive groves and cypress trees mix with breath-taking cliffs, colourful mountain pastures and a wide variety of Alpine plants.

Especially in the northern lake area - in the natural paradise throughout the Monte Baldo mountains - there are many hiking trails at all difficulty levels, lengths and variations. The Monte Baldo has been called the Italian Garden since the Renaissance because of its variety of flowers, plants and animals. This natural wonder can be experienced by hikers and nature lovers everyday.

A comfortable ascent to the pristine mountain region of the Monte Baldo Range is made possible by 2 cable cars - the Prada Monte Baldo from the South and a highly modern rotating cable car from Malcesine in the North. You'll be entranced by the breathtaking view of deep blue Lake Garda, the surrounding mountains, and on clear days you can even see the waters of Venice - that's when you know you are on vacation and forget about everyday life!

Hiking Tours starting at Hotel Orione

In the town subdivision of Castelletto di Brenzone, only 500m away, there are many hiking trails into the mountains along the eastern shore of Lake Garda. The trails, which lead you through endless olive groves and wild forests, all have great views of Lake Garda and the surrounding mountains. Good shoes and a bit of condition are required for the various hiking trails, since many go up and up on gravel trails to amazing lookout points which make the effort well worthwhile!
