Welcome to walking in Lake Garda

125km of shoreline and 70+ marked trails
Lake promenades, ancient olive groves, and limestone peaks
For walkers wanting scenery, sunshine, and a post-walk Spritz

Lake Garda hiking holidays are some of Europe’s most accessible. With over 70 marked trails winding through ancient olive groves, lemon terraces, and dramatic limestone peaks in Garda Trentino—plus 125km of Italian lakeside shoreline to stroll at your leisure—the challenge is deciding where to begin.

Lace up your boots for iconic walks like the Sentiero del Ponale Gorge, the Busatte-Tempesta Trail with its iron staircases and cliff-side paths, and the Monte Baldo Ridge—accessed from Malcesine, the "Garden of Europe".

And when your legs need a rest? There’s swimming, sailing, restaurants, and castles to explore. In short, Lake Garda walking holidays do it all—and more.

How to get around Lake Garda

How our self-guided Lake Garda walking holidays work:

Our self-guided trips let you set your own pace, from the length of your stay, to how far you walk each day. But if you’re used to group or guided holidays, you might be wondering how you’ll get around? Well, it’s easy…

Getting to and around town:

Your airport transfer is included with your trip. Once there, you'll find Lake Garda is wonderfully easy to get around. Gentle promenades hug the shoreline, and the lake ferry connects all the main towns and trail routes.

Getting to your walks and hikes:

Cruise in style on the lake ferry and buses, which make getting around an absolute breeze, or head to the hills via Malcesine’s Monte Baldo cable car, which whisks you up to the walking trails on the eastern lakeside in style. Not a bad commute, all things considered!
