Surrounded by the fabulous Dolomite mountain range in Trentino, northern Italy, Lake Garda is Italy�s best-loved and largest lake. With its crystal clear waters, spectacular scenery and abundant sporting opportunities, there is no better place to spend your holiday this year! Whatever sport you are interested in you will find it at Lake Garda. For those with a passion for sailing Lake Garda provides some of Italy�s best. With three sailing clubs on the shores of the Lake, this is the place to either hone your skills or try something new.

Windsurfing enthusiasts will also revel in the unique Garda wind, the �Ora�, which descends on the lake every morning and continues until dusk. Lake Garda offers more than just water sports. For those looking for adrenalin-filled sports the mountains which make Trentino so unique offer the perfect launch pad for hang-gliding and paragliding. Monte Baldo in particular has proved to be a popular spot for those looking for such white-knuckled thrills and provides the perfect opportunity to view this dramatic scenery from the air.

In addition to these sports Lake Garda offers visitors the chance to go mountain biking, climbing and canyoning. If you want to spend the day doing something a bit more cultural then the Garda Trentino Card is perfect for you! Available free from most hotels this card provides visitors with discounts at museums and attractions throughout the region. Whether you want to scale the mountains to explore castles or simply relax on the sandy edge of the lake, Lake Garda has everything you could want.

There is also accommodation to suit all tastes, from campsites and B&Bs to 4* hotels. The lakeside resort of Riva del Garda in particular, at the northernmost point of Garda, has long been a favourite destination of those seeking the best the area has to offer.

With some fabulous fish restaurants and accommodation prices starting from �60 per person per night for a 3* hotel it is possible to see why Lake Garda�s popularity has lasted!
