Spring is a magical season on Lake Garda: the days get longer, the colours brighten up and nature awakens. It is the perfect time to enjoy unique experiences of nature, culture and taste.
Here are 5 unmissable ideas to experience Lake Garda at its best in spring!
- Exploring the flower-filled villages of the lake
Spring dresses the villages of Lake Garda in intense colours and delicate scents. Strolling through the streets of Malcesine, with its stone houses and majestic Castello Scaligero, offers unique emotions, especially when the wisteria begins to bloom along the ancient walls. In Limone sul Garda, the charm of the historic lemon houses and the terraces overlooking the lake create an almost Mediterranean atmosphere, perfect for getting lost among the craft shops and outdoor cafés.
No less evocative are Bardolino, with its lively lakeside promenade and parks in bloom, and Sirmione, which in spring shows its more romantic side, with the ruins of the Grotte di Catullo surrounded by greenery and the castle reflected in the clear waters.

- Relaxing at the spa between nature and wellness
Spring is the ideal time to take care of oneself and regenerate. The spas of Lake Garda offer a perfect balance of relaxation and enchanting landscapes. Among the most famous are the Terme di Sirmione, a wellness oasis directly overlooking the lake: open-air thermal pools, spa routes and regenerating treatments exploit the therapeutic properties of the sulphurous salso-bromo-iodine water, known since antiquity.
Those seeking an even more exclusive experience can visit the Parco Termale del Garda di Villa dei Cedri, in Colà di Lazise. A large park with thermal lakes immersed in nature, natural whirlpools and an absolutely peaceful setting. The pleasant temperatures of the season make bathing outdoors particularly pleasant, surrounded by centuries-old trees and spring scents.

3. Hiking or biking on scenic trails
With the arrival of fine weather, the paths winding through the hills, mountains and shores of Lake Garda become the ideal setting for those who love walking or cycling in nature. One of the most famous routes is the Sentiero del Ponale, which climbs from Riva del Garda along the cliffs offering breathtaking views of crystal-clear water and lush vegetation.
Those in search of even more extensive views can climb Monte Baldo, the “natural terrace” of Lake Garda: from here there is a spectacular view stretching from the lake to the Alps. The more sporty can opt for mountain bike routes, while those who prefer a slower pace will find itineraries suitable for leisurely walks, perhaps among the olive groves of the lower Garda area or along the cycle paths between Lazise and Bardolino.

- Relaxing with a boat trip
Nothing expresses the beauty of Lake Garda better in spring than a trip on the water. With mild temperatures and clear skies, it is the ideal time to board a sailboat, rent an electric boat without a licence, or take part in a mini-cruise between the marinas on the lake.
Gliding slowly on the water, admiring the flower-filled shores, castles and mountains reflected in the lake, is a relaxing and atmospheric experience. You can stop for lunch at a lakeside restaurant, take a dip if the weather permits.
