About this experience
From village to village among the olive trees and mountains
Multi-day hiking experience in the company of professional local guides. Beyond safety, our goal is for you to enjoy this backpacking tour as best as possible!
This multi-day backpacking experience at Lake Garda is something you might not have thought of. Its Mediterranean climate and the impressive variety of the hike will amaze you! Let us handle every aspect of this multi-day hiking tour and enjoy it.
Hiking on Lake Garda is marvelous because of the bright light and the mountains going steeply into the water, and also because of its many historic villages.
Each day we start from the lake, climb up the mountains and descend to another ancient lakeside village. After the hike, the highlight of the day is the "aperitivo" and the dinner. This is more than just a tour, it is a true Italian hiking experience.
