Golden Suites ItalyLake Garda: what to do in every season
Lake Garda does not have one season: it has four, all different. Here is how to enjoy Italy's largest lake at any time of the year.
Spring: villages and blossom
From April the lake wakes up: it is the ideal time for Sirmione and its Castello Scaligero, the Grotte di Catullo rising sheer above the turquoise water, and the villages of the Verona shore — Lazise, Bardolino, Garda — linked by one of the finest lakeside walks in Italy.
Summer: water and wind
Beaches, sailing, windsurfing and canoeing: the north of the lake, from Riva del Garda to Torbole, is the European capital of wind sports. For families, the big theme parks on the southern shore are less than an hour away. Book early: it is high season, and by booking direct you avoid the big platforms' commissions.
Autumn: cycle paths and flavours
The Bardolino grape harvest, new olive oil, chestnuts in the hinterland: autumn is the season of flavours. With our bike and e-bike rental offer you can explore the Mincio cycle path all the way to Mantua, or the rolling hills of the Valtenesi, effortlessly.
Winter: thermal spas and markets
The secret of Lake Garda in winter is the thermal spas: with the spa and wellness offer for our guests, a day in the thermal waters is the perfect way to round off the year. And the Christmas markets in the lakeside villages are worth the trip on their own.
Where to stay
The homes on Lake Garda you will find on Golden Suites — from Peschiera to Gardone Riviera, with its private beach on the lake — can be booked directly through the portal, with the assistance and the partner offers reserved for guests.
