Spring at Lake Garda
Capture the sun's rays during your holiday in Italy
When snow still adorns the peaks of the mountains north of Lake Garda, spring begins on Lake Garda in March with the first flowers and the magnolia blossom. In April – at Easter time – the season is even more colourful with blossoming cherry and peach trees. Especially between Lake Garda and Verona, countless peach trees offer a romantic sea of flowers.
The hiking trails and fixed rope routes call active holidaymakers into the spring sun, e.g. on the 30 kilometre long ridge of Monte Baldo on the eastern shore of the lake. More and more golfers begin to hit the warm greens of the golf courses. And also bikers enjoy the pleasant climate during their tours at Lake Garda.
Relax in spring at our 5-star Quellenhof Luxury Resort Lazise on the south-eastern shore of Lake Garda.
