About Lake Garda

Lake Garda is located in the Lombardy region of north of Italy. It is connected via the A4 motorway to Milan and Venice and sits halfway between the two famous cities, making it very accessible by air, car or train. Ryanair, Easy Jet, BA and Monarch all provide low cost flights into either Milan Bergamo or Verona making a short break a very viable option.

Lake Garda is the largest of the Italian lakes and was formed by a glacier during the last ice-age, over 10,000 years ago. The lake which is over 16km wide and 346m at its deepest point and has a shore line of over 150km.

Its 52km length takes you from the Prealpi and Dolomite mountains in the north to the morainic hills and plains of Lombardy in the south. The richly diverse and devastatingly beautiful landscape is complemented by many beautiful and historic towns which hug the shore of the gloriously blue lake.

Lake Garda’s has a Mediterranean climate, mild winters, warm in spring and autumn and hot summers. The effect of the mountains and the large surface of water creates localized micro-climates, which can provide temperatures into the 20’s even in November and February.

Check out the weather, search for a hotel or self catering accommodation, check out the low cost flights and treat yourself to a taste of Lake Garda.
