Lake Garda is the largest body of water in Italy. Its perimeter, approximately 162 km, is equal in length to a stage of the Giro d'Italia; it has a surface area of 370 km2 and reaches a maximum depth of 346 m. The historical relics submerged in its depths make Garda an unmissable stopover for any diver, while the surface water, stirred by the wind, is an exciting training ground for sailing and water sports of all kinds. The depth of the ‘sea of Lombardy’ is matched by the heights of the surrounding mountains, promontories and rolling hills; a breathtaking backdrop where traditional human activities coexist in complete harmony with the local flora and fauna. Lake Garda, with its lemon and olive groves, cultural attractions, excellent food and wine and diverse wildlife is the perfect destination for any holiday, be it a sporting weekend in autumn or a long summer of sunbathing.
