Are you planning activities for your Lake Garda holiday, and you want to be sure to pick only the most sustainable ones? We have chosen 5 low environmental impact activities for you that will make your stay on the largest lake in Italy truly unforgettable!
Yoga in the park or on the shore of Lake Garda
What’s a great way to increase your level of relaxation and well-being during your Lake Garda holiday? Yoga is a great solution, and it has zero environmental impact! There are many places for those who want to practice yoga outdoors, starting from our garden: you can find your balance on the soft grass and in the shade of the olive trees, with the guidance of a dedicated instructor. But this is just the start! You can also practice yoga on one of our beaches, as well as in the many yoga studios in our area.
Lake Garda spas
Natural wellness flows free: near Lake Garda you can find various thermal spas, and Garda Trentino is no exception! Let’s start with the famous Terme di Comano, not far from Riva del Garda at the foot of the Brenta Dolomites, surrounded by a 14-hectare park. There, the thermal water is perfect to detox, stimulating the immune system and helping skin health. Closer to Riva del Garda you’ll find the elegant Garda Thermae structure, with an outdoor whirlpool, a saline pool, and again, a beautiful wellness area. The natural spa of the “Parco Termale del Garda di Villa dei Cedri”, in Colà di Lazise, and Aquardens, between Lake Garda and Verona, are also worth visiting.
Green mobility with the Garda Guest Card
If you are planning a sustainable holiday on Lake Garda you should also think about how to move around. Our area is perfect to explore by bike, but did you know that with the Garda Guest Card you also get free public transport? Don’t forget that thanks to the Guest Card you can also travel at discounted rates by boat, sailing between Riva, Torbole, Limone and Malcesine. You can also charge your electric car here, and there is a free charging station for e-bikes.
Environmentally friendly delights
A holiday in Riva del Garda is not complete without food and wine experiences. How can you combine them with sustainability? For example, you can visit one of the many agriturismi in the area, to try their genuine cuisine, starting from self-produced and seasonal ingredients! An interesting alternative is organizing a zero-mile picnic, directly in the Oleeva garden, with local products. For a complete and sustainable food and wine experience, you can taste excellent local wines from selected wineries at our Honesty Bar.
Walks and reconnection
What's better for the environment and for ourselves than walking in nature? There's no shortage of destinations for walks around here to reconnect with nature! A few steps away from Oleeva you'll find yourself in the biodiversity of Monte Brione, with several paths and trails to choose from. There are many other walks in the surrounding area, such as the one that leads to the olive grove of Arco, or the walk to the Church of Santa Barbara, with its fantastic view of Riva del Garda.
These are just some of the many green experiences you can have on Lake Garda. Are you ready to explore in a sustainable way?
