Are you a passionate diver? If so, then you’ll be happy to know you can indulge your passion at Lake Garda! And if you're a beginner, don't worry...  fresh water diving courses are also available for those new to the sport. 

Lake Garda’s deepest point reaches a depth of 346 meters and is located between Tignale and Castelletto. Temperatures are quite cold: in summer the surface is about 25°C and drops to 12°C at a depth of 30 meters. If you descend a little further waters reach 7°C! Temperatures aside, Lake Garda boasts a vibrant underwater ecosystem home to a variety of fish including pike, carp, perch and sunfish.

For your descent into the depths, don’t forget a good wetsuit, a signal buoy and underwater torch. There are several diving centers around the lake where you can try this wonderful experience, including certified diving schools offering courses for both beginners and experts.

The ultimate diving paradise? Porto San Nicolò in Riva del Garda. Here you can dive down to 40 meters and view the 2-meter tall statue of Jesus as well as wrecks from World War II.

Considered one of the most beautiful villages in Italy, Canale di Tenno is slightly off Lake Garda’s beaten tourist track and definitely worth a visit. Try to arrive at Canale di Tenno very early in the morning, or at sunset, when the colors are most vivid and the view of the lake is nothing short of spectacular! 

What to do in Canale di Tenno: lose yourself in the alleys and narrow streets amongst the grey houses, arches and breathtaking lake views. For lunch try the local dish of salted meat with beans and polenta!

If you’re planning a trip to Lake Garda in mid-August don’t miss the historical reenactment which takes place annually in the historic center: storytellers, fireworks, medieval costumes, parades and celebrations await you!

In case you haven’t heard, one of the most exciting bike paths in Europe runs along Lake Garda. So why not go for a ride?

The Garda by Bike route currently extends 190 kilometers around the lake. Completion of the cycling path is slated for 2021, but in the meantime, some sections are already open to two-wheel explorers. In Brescia, for example, cyclists can ride 90 kilometers along the path through Sirmione, Desenzano del Garda and Lonato del Garda.

To the north, the stretch between Gargnano and Limone del Garda is truly spectacular. Approximately 27 kilometers long, it’s recommended for expert cyclists. In the province of Trento, another 7 kilometers wind along the municipalities of Riva del Garda and Arco, while in the province of Mantua the cycling path connects Peschiera del Garda to Pozzolengo.
