Lake Garda

Italy's largest lake is Lake Garda. It is a well-liked vacation spot in northern Italy, on the edge of the Dolomites, halfway between Brescia and Verona and between Venice and Milan. At the end of the previous ice age, glaciers created this alpine area. The provinces of Brescia, Verona, and Trentino share the lake and its shoreline.

Garda is primarily known as the playground lake, despite the fact that its northernmost portions are almost as stunning as Lake Como. Nearly every freshwater sport is available here, and at its northernmost point, Torbole, you can enjoy some of the best kite- and windsurfing in Europe. The lake's winds make sailing a favorite activity, while kayaking is more common in its calmer southern waters.

A moderate environment makes the region around the lake an ideal destination all throughout the year. It's also one of the factors that make Lake Garda, with its clear, blue waters, such a well-liked vacation spot for beachgoers and swimmers, as well as avid kayakers and windsurfers.
