In the surroundings of Lake Garda, several types of trekking or/and Nordic walking can be practiced easily in a very pleasant and relaxed way.

The area offers a lot of paths and trails, suitable for all ages and levels of difficulty, full of exceptional landmarks. Recently, in the area around Limone del Garda in Arco, a new Nordic walking Park has opened its doors where five trails and 15 itineraries are offered to practitioners, covering approximately a 100 km/62 mi area.

All trails are well signed, indicating levels, distances, directions, localities and level of difficulty. The fans of trekking, by climbing up the Monte Baldo Mountain which tops more than 4000 m/13123 ft of altitude, have the opportunity to admire the rich fauna of the mountain and the incredible view from the ”balcony of Garda”.

With more than 100 trail routes, 13 itineraries and 3 diverse departure points available only in Arco, the entire area of Garda Lake seems to be the perfect spot for those who prefer just walking on the mountain!
