Winter in Garda Trentino

An all-round magical time of year

Winter in Garda Trentino is quiet, even soothing – yet still alive. How does this all fit together? Thanks to the mild all-year-round climate, hiking and even biking are possible here in the months when it is cold elsewhere. The towns are home to charming Christmas markets, while restaurants invite you to sample the delicious cucina italiana: there are cultural attractions and boutiques to offer both experiences and shopping. The atmosphere around the Lake in winter is truly enchanting!

Two distances, 30 km and 15 km, to run the trails of Upper Garda even in the heart of winter. Starting and finishing in Torbole, the Garda Trentino XMas Trail winds through forests, along forest roads and across scenic sections overlooking the lake, making the most of the mild climate that makes this area ideal for trail running even in December.

Flavours of the season

Winter in Garda Trentino is the perfect time to discover authentic, seasonal tastes. As the cold sets in, the new unfiltered olive oil arrives — fresh from the press, fragrant and full of flavour. It’s also the season for handcrafted grappa distilled in the glowing stills of Santa Massenza, for organic vegetables from the Val di Gresta, and for the prized Torbole Broccoli, a winter favourite on local tables.
