ThreeMust-DoHikingRoutesaroundLimonesulGarda

What better opportunity to be inspired by Limone sul Garda and its surroundings, with breathtaking landscapes and trails steeped in history and tradition? The charm of Limone sul Garda lies not only in its views of the lake, but also in the hiking trails that climb into the mountains, the small green valleys, the secret waterfalls and the olive groves that smell of summer. Horstmann Hotels properties are strategically located for exploring the many trails suitable for all abilities: the Garda area offers a range of options, from gentle walks to more challenging hikes and scenic bike tours. Here are three ideas for routes to try during your stay at one of the facilities of Hortsmann Hotels located in Limone sul Garda.

A route that combines sport and relaxation, one of the most evocative for those who love walking in Limone sul Garda. It starts from the historic centre and runs along the lake until it reaches the suspended cycle path of Lake Garda, a panoramic stretch that is unique in the world. Along the way, you will pass through olive groves and lemon orchards, with the option of taking a detour to the Sopino Waterfall, a hidden gem in the mountains. Along the way, there are plenty of benches with panoramic views and small natural lookout points where you can stop to take a photo or simply breathe in the tranquillity of the lake. The route is well signposted and safe, perfect for those who want to combine sport and relaxation without straying too far from the town.

• Duration: ~3-4 hours

• Difficulty: easy-medium

Among the most scenic trails on Lake Garda, the trek to Punta Larici and Monte Bestone offers unforgettable views. Perhaps not as popular as Cima di Mughera, it offers equally memorable scenery. The trail starts in Limone and climbs the slopes to Bocca Larici: from here, in a few minutes you reach Punta Larici, a natural balcony suspended above Lake Garda, with a breathtaking view stretching from Riva del Garda to Sirmione. Continuing along the ridge, you cross wooded areas and panoramic meadows that lead to Monte Bestone, which dominates the entire upper Garda area and the Brescia Pre-Alps. It is a varied and rewarding route, alternating between steep climbs and gentler stretches, with continuous glimpses of lemon groves, olive groves and the intense blue of the lake below. The greatest satisfaction? Reaching the summit, sitting down for a moment and enjoying the silence interrupted only by the wind, while your gaze wanders along the shores and surrounding mountains.

• Duration: ~ 4-5 hours

• Difficulty: medium-high

An itinerary that combines nature and culture, perfect for those who love sustainable tourism on Lake Garda. Take your bike to La Milanesa, then continue on foot along mule track 101, which leads into the picturesque Singol Valley, a little-known corner rich in historical remains. Here you will find the “calchere”, ancient stone kilns once used to produce lime, now surrounded by greenery and silence. The route continues through terraced lemon groves and old dry-stone walls, crossing centuries-old olive groves that tell the story of Garda's agricultural tradition. As you climb, increasingly wide panoramic views of the lake open up and you reach the rural villages above Limone, where time seems to have stood still and the cobbled streets preserve stories of rural life. It is an itinerary that alternates nature and culture, offering an authentic immersion in the Garda landscape.
