Hidden Hiking Gems Around Garda See 🌿🏞️

#summervacay I visited Garda See in early July. These past couple of years, it’s become a super popular vacation spot, but to avoid the crowds, I chose to explore the quieter northern towns instead. The northern part of Garda See feels very different from the south — the lake is narrower, flanked by tall mountains on both sides 🏔️. Hidden in these mountains are some lesser-known lakes where even during peak season, you’ll find very few people. One such gem is Lake Tenno, just a short trip from Garda See. On weekends, a few Italian families come here for picnics and swimming — there are spots along the shore perfect for a refreshing dip 💧☀️. Nearby, there’s a charming medieval village called Borgo Medievale di Canale, famous enough to be ranked among Italy’s most beautiful small towns 🏘️✨. I wanted to rest there, but surprisingly, the town has almost no shops or restaurants. The only café was tiny — just 4 or 5 tables — and it was already full when we arrived. So, we completed the hiking loop and headed back to the lakeside to enjoy our coffee instead ☕😊. If you’re looking for a peaceful hiking getaway in Garda See with fewer tourists and authentic Italian charm, the north side is definitely worth a visit! #gardasee #laketenno #hiddengems #italytravel #hikingadventures
