Lake Garda is Italy’s largest lake, stretching across the regions of Lombardy, Trentino-Alto Adige, and Veneto.

Today is free for you to enjoy Riva del Garda at your own pace. Nestled between Lake Garda and the Brenta Dolomites, Riva del Garda is the very epicenter of Garda Trentino.

Monte Baldo, often referred to as the Hortus Europae, or Garden of Europe, has a unique ecosystem rich in biodiversity and many endemic species. Its landscapes range from alpine environments above 2,200 meters to sub-Mediterranean habitats near Lake Garda. Its slopes support most Alpine flora, more than 60 species of Italian orchids, and numerous butterfly species. Your guide leads an easy panoramic walk and shares insights into the local flora and fauna. Before returning to Malcesine, there is a recommended stop at one of the mountain huts near the cable car station to sample local mountain cheeses.

The hike is rated easy, with a length of about 8 km and an elevation gain of about 150 mt. Wear suitable hiking shoes and comfortable clothing, and bring enough drinking water. A good level of physical fitness and sure-footedness are essential. This experience includes a private guided hiking tour on Mt. Baldo and a return cable car ticket from Malcesine to Monte Baldo. Total duration is about 2.5 to 3 hours. The tour runs rain or shine, and the proposed routes may change depending on weather conditions and the state of the trails or cycling paths at the time of the event.

Your first stop is Limone sul Garda. When the scent of citrus surrounds you on Lake Garda, you are likely in Limone, the northernmost town on the Brescia side of the lake and also the northernmost place where lemons are grown. This ancient and atmospheric village has several places to visit during your journey. Among its historic structures, the Limonaia del Castèl stands out for both its size and state of preservation. It was founded in the 17th century with stone and wood greenhouses, then expanded in the 18th century to improve citrus cultivation and protect the crops from winter winds. Alongside the Castèl complex, other pillar structures for lemon growing can still be seen. Goethe observed them at the end of the 18th century, and they became increasingly widespread in Limone sul Garda until the postwar period.

In Limone sul Garda, you also have bike rental and helmet included. The Limone sul Garda bike path is a spectacular 2.5 km suspended pathway, part of the larger Garda by Bike project, hanging above the water with wide lake views.

You also visit on your own The Vittoriale degli Italiani, a hillside estate and monumental complex built by poet Gabriele D’Annunzio from 1921 to 1938. It contains his eclectic house, the Prioria, along with a war museum, an open-air theater, and extensive gardens. The site honors his "inimitable life" and Italy’s WWI victory. Entrance tickets to Vittoriale degli Italiani are included.
