Welcome to the official blog of the Garda Lake Collection , your gateway to the natural and historical wonders of Lake Garda. Today we invite you to discover three of the most fascinating and sought-after experiences in the region: the Sentiero del Ponale, the Madonna della Corona Sanctuary and the tour of the lake by bike.
1. Sentiero del Ponale: A Walk Between History and Nature
The Sentiero del Ponale is one of the most iconic routes on Lake Garda, which starts from Riva del Garda and winds along the old panoramic road, now transformed into an exclusively pedestrian and cycle path. This hike offers you a unique perspective on the lake, with views that take in the blue waters and towering mountains. The route is suitable for all levels of experience and can be covered in approximately 2-3 hours on foot. Along the way, you will find several rest areas where you can picnic or simply relax while admiring the view.
2. Madonna della Corona Sanctuary: A Place of Peace Suspended in Time
The Madonna della Corona Sanctuary is located in Ferrara di Monte Baldo, set in a vertiginous cliff almost 800 meters above sea level. This place of worship can be reached via a walk or a funicular for those looking for easier access. The sanctuary is known for its architecture that seems almost suspended in space, offering an almost mystical experience. In addition to its spiritual importance, the sanctuary offers panoramic views of the valleys below that are simply stunning. We recommend allocating approximately 1-2 hours for the visit, with more time for those who wish to attend a mass or dedicate a moment to personal reflection.
3. Tour of Lake Garda by bike: An adventure on two wheels
The Lake Garda bike tour is an experience that allows you to appreciate the diversity of the lake landscape. With a well-developed network of cycle paths, cyclists can enjoy a safe journey around the lake, discovering picturesque villages, olive groves, vineyards and beaches along the way. Starting from any of our hotels, you can choose between itineraries of varying difficulty and length, making this tour suitable for both families and expert cyclists. For a complete experience, we recommend dedicating an entire day to exploration, perhaps with stops in typical restaurants to taste the local gastronomy.
