What to do and see in Lake Garda, Lake Garda: The Best Walking Tours

February 13, 2022 Vergie Nakamoto

The largest of Italy’s fresh-water lakes, Lake Garda is located in northeast Italy. Tourists traveling here will find plenty of excursions and activities to keep them entertained year-round—everything from visiting hilly wine regions to exploring 14th-century castles. The towns and communities surrounding Lake Garda offer easy day trips from Venice, easily accessible by car or train. Major sights include the towns of Sirmione (which attracts most Lake Garda visitors thanks to its historic Rocca Scaligiera castle) and Riva del Garda (for the Varone waterfalls located nearby), as well as the region’s hills, which offer numerous hiking trails for adventurous walkers.

“GLPSTUDIO is the company you NEED behind the lens"   The pre-wedding chat about what to expect and planning what kind of photos we did and didn't want was something we didn't realise we needed and it was great someone was there to guide us. We never felt pressured or rushed once when Gian was photographing our wedding. It made our day no fuss and Gian was unobtrusive and professional. Such a relaxed artistic clever photographer with a great sense of humour and who goes above and beyond to get that perfectly unique shot! Gian and Nicola have really given us the memories of tomorrow. Every time we look through the pictures there is a great flashback of the day. There was not one photo that we said "oh I don't like that one" we love each and every photo. Thank you for such a gift. Regards Berit&Addi   PS. We truly were blessed to be able to have GLPSTUDIO photograph our wedding!

Overlooking Lake Garda, a path cut into the rock, which occasionally disappears and requires short but exciting climbs and will impress you with its wild beauty. The almost horizontal development offers unexpected and dizzying cliffs on the lake. The route, not being equipped, is therefore only suitable for those with experience or for those who require a guide. It can be reached along the legendary Ponale road.

Inclusions: Helmet, harness and ferrata set

Exclusions: Snacks

This canyon will surprise you. Initially not very demanding, after a crescendo of slides and jumps between waterfalls and natural pools you will find yourself passing almost in the cave ending with a 50-meter waterfall. It is one of the most fascinating routes in Northern Italy. Between light effects and vertical walls the progression of commitment and fun will make it an unforgettable experience. To fully enjoy the experience it is recommended a good physical shape, confidence with water and no fear of height. The overall difficulty of the Palvico canyoning, although the duration is about the same, is on the whole higher than in the Rio Nero canyoning due to the scarce possibility of exit, the deeper and darker environment, the greater water flow and in generally colder and finally the length of the falls decidedly greater. Minimum required weight 40kg

Inclusions: wetsuits in neoprene, harness, jacket and helmet, Air-conditioned vehicle, RC insurance, Alpine Guide Service

This historic via ferrata, suitable for people with experience in the world of via ferrata and in good physical shape, puts us to the test. There are many physical and overhanging passages that will be faced, the via ferrata is very exposed and the view is postcard-like! Having been closed for a few years for safety reasons, the Monte Albano via ferrata is again viable! Absolutely not to be underestimated !!

I booked this tour for me and my husband on a whim just to give us something to do for the weekend...and it was an excellent decision! Our guide Cristina responded to us within an hour to inquire about our food preferences and to also ensure that we didn’t have any allergies which we found to be very helpful and thoughtful. Once we met up at the designated time, she was very informative about each place we went to and she showed us some different restaurants that we may not have ventured into had we visited Verona on our own. At each place, she asked us if we wanted photos and let us take our time to marvel at everything after explaining the history behind it. We even got to see the arena which was sooo beautiful in person. If you want a tour guide that is going to show you more than just the typical tourists routes, book with Cristina. She made our experience worthwhile.
