RUN LOVERS

Running on Lake Garda: hotels, routes and advice tailored to you

If you love running, try a running vacation!

Lake Garda is a perfect destination for all running enthusiasts. If running is your passion here you can run along the riviera at the water’s edge or in the beautiful Garda hinterland. Lake Garda is perfect for road running, but it definitely dedicates its best to trail runners and those who prefer offroad.

The coast represents the ideal route for those who like to run on the road or need to adhere to training schedules and higher speeds. Thus, one can run on the flat, but take advantage of numerous uphill asphalt routes that offer gentle uphill inclines and steeper downhill shortcuts back to the starting point.

For the off-road enthusiast, the possibilities are truly plentiful. There are ones for all levels of preparation both in terms of difficulty and length. The wonder of these routes is that they are almost all with breathtaking views of Lake Garda.

There are numerous routes to take starting directly from the hotel, following the advice and directions of the staff who will enthusiastically prepare you for your daily trail running sessions.
