Casa Guarnati - Major sports to participate in in and around the Lake

Sailing and Windsurfing find a good home here on the Lake.  Throughout most of the year the winds blow reliably in both morning and afternoon and are of ideal strength for these sports.
There are many sailing schools here where you can go to learn or improve or simply try one of these water sports.
Even for those of you who would rather sunbathe on deck while your boat is being helmed by an experienced skipper, you can rent day cruises here.  This area has also become known recently for Kite-surfing, a new addition to the watersports clan which allows you, with the aid of a ‘wing’ to make spectacular jumps and loops.

Monte Baldo is one of the favourite sites for Parascenders and their descents in harmony with the thermic currents.
You can get up the mountain (1760 m) in a few minutes thanks to the cable-car and there is a superb landing site on the shores of the lake just north of Malcesine. The Lake also allows amazing contests to take place where great feats of acrobatics are tried out.
You can also try a tandem jump with one of the several excellent parascenders who work in Malcesine, experiencing for yourself the emotions and views of this wonderful sport.

For mountain bikers there are many possible routes to explore: not only is there a new cycle path that winds along the lake shore but there are also many on and off road tracks of varying degrees of difficulty and length, most of which can be reached by taking the cable car up Monte Baldo. Further up the valley towards Trento there are also the famous Tremalzo, Monte Altissimo and Cima Pernici descents .

Those keen on Nordik Walking will be pleased to know that Malcesine offers you a range of walks of varying difficulty.
Walks are organised on a weekly basis to give you the chance to see the most beautiful areas of the Lake and Mountain Just grab a pair of suitable shoes and a jacket and you can try trekking.  There is a wide choice  of treks to do here, some lasting minutes and others hours.

Most end at a fantastic view or a bar or mountain shelter.  Monte Baldo stands alone and offers breathtaking views in every direction.
We organise some excursions ourselves which we will be happy to tell you about.
For those of you who like sub-acqua diving you will know already that lake diving is not comparable to sea diving but you will be pleasantly suprised by the underwater climate, flora, fauna and bits of history that you will find under Lake Garda’s waters.

A few kilometres away, near the town of Arco, is a fabulous area for natural and artificial Rock Climbing.  In this wide area there are many climbing tracks where you can go alone or with a guide on difficult climbs or the less demanding Vie Ferrate.

We will be happy to give you further information on all these sports and how you can go about booking equipment, excursions, guides, shelters etc.
