Tignale-Lake and Mountain Holidays
The Port of Tignale, a narrow stretch of land with quiet beaches and little bays, the marina, an ancient hermitage, and the Pra de la Fam lemon grove. Spending a day in this place can be pleasantly surprising.
The beach is free and you can rent beds and umbrellas. It’s as beautiful as the Amalfi coast. The lake bottom does not get deep right away, so it’s ideal for children. There is also an area reserved for dogs.
Tignale Beach Water Sports
You can take sailing classes (thanks to an agreement between the town and the Circolo Vela di Gargnano sailing club), as well as kitesurfing, windsurfing, SUP, and canoeing classes all with gear rental. For excellent fun try out the water walking balls, or flyboarding a few meters above the water thanks to powerful jets.

thank you for your wonderful information, is it easy to access tignale and gardolla village from either garda or malcesine.regards john phelan
Hi John,
It;ss the total opposite side of the lake so you would need to drive around. You could get the car ferry from Torri to Toscolano or Malcesine to Limone which would mean less driving.
Hi
Would it be difficult to stay in Tignale for a week or so without a car?
Thanks.
Diana
Hi Diana,
It would depend how much of the lake you wanted to see? If you just wanted to have a walking holiday in Parco Alto Garda (high would be very nice) then you’d get away with it. If however you wanted to get lakeside you’d be better off with a car. Also you have to consider that transfer fees from airports could possibly (probably even) be more expensive than a hire car.
