SunLodge at Altomincio Family Park

Mountain bike or hike your way around Lake Garda’s shores as far as you like, but don’t forget to stop by Gardaland Resort (15 minutes' drive), where you can find great views of Lake Garda from the top of a rollercoaster. This theme park also has an aquarium, log flume and rapids, among other rides sure to get your heart racing. Lake Garda keeps many more attractions (and plenty of the historic type) on its shores. Aside from paddleboarding, swimming, kayaking and all manner of watersports in the lake itself, you can also play like royalty in an old Italian fortress at the Sirmione Castle (half an hour) overlooking the shores. Later, dive into the neighbouring ruins of a Roman villa at the Archaeological site of Grotte di Catullo (35 minutes). How about a wine tasting tour in the vineyards of Lazise (20 minutes)? Afterwards, the Aquardens (35 minutes) makes a nice stop on the way back for a soak in a warming thermal bath. Or why not drop into the nearby Parco Natura Viva (20 minutes) and greet the variety of wild animals inside?
