Tour
The Vittoriale degli Italiani in Gardone Riviera
Let's start with one of the most particular and spectacular places of our lake: the Vittoriale degli Italiani in Gardone Riviera .
Our advice is to also book a guided tour inside, it is absolutely worth it!
A couple of kilometers away from the Vittoriale degli Italiani are the Heller Gardens. For those who love nature, flowers, botany and art, this is the perfect place!
Gargnano
Leaving Gardone Riviera behind you, continue towards Gargnano . We recommend parking your car at the Porticciolo and moving around on foot, taking a walk towards the Church and Cloister of San Francesco, a building from the 1200s.
Enjoy the beauty of the landscape and the charm of the narrow streets that cross the town. It passes through some lemon groves until you reach the tiny church of San Giacomo at the end of the old road in a small village.
For lunch, grab a packed lunch, stop at Parco le Fontanelle, a garden of olive trees by the lake, and enjoy a little relaxation, just a few meters from the Church of San Giacomo.
Tignale
The day continues, moving to Tignale to admire the Sanctuary of Montecastello (Madonna della Stella Sanctuary).
The monument stands on a limestone outcrop overlooking the lake.
Tremosine
Continue following the signs in the direction of Tremosine , to admire the view of Lake Garda from above, from the Brivido terrace : a breathtaking experience. To get off the plateau you can choose to take either the main road or the Strada della Forra, a very narrow and evocative road.
The Strada della Forra is considered to be "the most beautiful road in the world". Winston Churchill called it the eighth wonder of the world.
Salò
To conclude in the best possible way, the last recommended stop is Salò, for a strictly lake view dinner at the QB DuePuntoZero restaurant and then a nice walk!
