Trekking Lake Garda We propose a walking programme in the central area of the lake and it’s beautiful surrounding areas, walking through vineyards and olive trees. This is a valid alternative to the classical trekking which usually takes place in the northern part of the lake.
Program: (5 days/4 night) 1st day: arrival in the evening in one of our 3 star hotels in the Garda and surrounding area. Welcome drink, dinner and overnight stay. 2nd day – TOUR OF THE “ROCCHE” (HILLS) AND THE BARDOLINO VINEYARDS (half day) After a rich breakfast the group will meet our guide at the hotel and together they will go to Garda, the lake town which gives it’s name to the biggest lake in Italy. Here begins the “tour of the Rocche”, hills that reach 300 metres in altitude, characterised by dense woods. The group will have the possibility to visit the “Eremo of San Giorgio”, an antique monastery which dates back to 1200. To this day there are approxiamtely 10 monks that still live there. (The monks are of the “benedettini camandolesi” order). By walking across a path from the Rocca San Giorgio, the group will reach the “Rocca Vecchia”. Here, a long time ago (900 – 1000 d. C.) an antique fortress arose. Due to it’s strategic importance it gave the lake the name “Garda” (which comes from the word Warte, in the antique germanic language this means “observation point”). There are many legends about this hill, that dominates the lake towns of Bardolino and Garda and looks directly onto the lake. It offers one of the most panoramic and beautiful views of the southern part of Lake Garda. Descending the rocca the group arrives in the vineyards that surround Bardolino. Here among the vineyards and olive trees they will encounter old country houses and wine cellars that used to belong to the old villages around here. After a walk of approximately 3 hours the group will stop in one of these cellars, have a snack and taste some of the local wines of the area, before finishing the few easy km that are left to reach the end. Arrival at the hotel in the afternoon. Dinner. Overnight stay 3rd day – PRADA AND MOUNT BALDO SOUTH (full day) After breakfast meet our guide and depart for Prada. Prada is in the southern part of Mount Baldo. A new lift will allow the group to go from the 1000mt of altitude of Prada to the 1500 mt of “Malga Prada”. This is an intermediate point of the lift that is divided into two sections. Here will begin a walk that will last approximately 5 hours and will take the group up to 1850 mt. They will gradually see the changing scenary, from a mediterranean vegetation to an alpine vegetation. Crossing vast
lawns full of daffodils, beeches and pastures, the group will arrive in the “Valle delle Marmotte”, known by this name because of a big colony of marmots that live inside many tunnels. Here we stop and eat a packed lunch in silence. After a while you can easily see the marmots come out of their tunnels to spy on you.. After the pause we carry on and arrive at the crest of the mountain, “Costabella” at a height of 1850 mt. From here you can admire a breath taking panoramic view: the lake on one side and Val d’Adige the other. During clear days it is possible to see the Venice lagoon, the major peaks of mountains such as Monte Rosa and Monte Bianco, further south the Apennine mountains. After having admired the 360 degree view, the descent begins with the chair lift and arrival in Malga Prada (the morning starting point), here the group will be able to taste a rich variety of cold meats and cheeses of Mount Baldo and a bowl of pasta.After lunch the group will complete the descent with the cable car to Prada. Return to the hotel. Dinner. Overnight stay 4th day – GARDA/ALBISANO/CRERO (half day) After breakfast the group will leave together with the guide for the third walk of the programme. Starting point “Valle dei Mulini” in Garda. This spectacular valley is crossed by the Gusa Torrent, many years ago it was full of old mills that, fed by the current of the river, was a landmark point for the agricultural activity of the area. Now the old mills have become pictoresque farmhouses. Having gone through the Valle dei Mulini the group will arrive in Marciaga, which houses a golf course with a panoramic view of the southern part of the lake. The group will immediately arrive in the wood of the Val Longa, a wilderness that will take the group to Albisano a village perched approximately 300 mt above the lake town of Torri del Benaco. Here the group will stop for a break in the courtyard of the old church where the view is really spectacular. After this break the group will go through the wood that will take them to Crero. Every so often the wood opens up and the lake water can be seen. Arriving in Crero the group will have earned a lunch that will be held in a tavern with a panoramic view. After lunch the group will arrive at the meeting point with the bus for the return to the hotel in the early afteroon. 5th day. Breakfast and departure.

Wine & Bike Pedaling and tasting An easy and panoramic route of approx. 20 kms riding on a mountain-bike that will take you to the heart of the Bardolino wine and the renowned Lake Garda olive oil areas.
Ready? Set? Go! We depart from the hill of Garda, already in quota, because today the only thing that will rise is our elbows.. And the bikes that we have rented, will not be other than our means of transport to reach the various tasting points that are waiting for us. After about 5 kms on a dirt road we arrive to the first “pit-stop” for refreshment: bruschetta with Lake Garda olive oil and a couple of glasses of white Garda wine will give us the necessary energy to continue. Taking off on a hilly trail through woods, vineyards and olive orchards, we pass by some panoramic view points of the lake and 5 kms later we arrive at our second stop: a taste of cold meats accompanied by glasses of red Bardolino wine, according to the best Veneto tradition… Then we’re off once more immersed in the thick of the vineyards of the Bardolino hinterland and in never ending fields planted with vines and olive trees. After several kilometres we stop in an olive orchard where tables and chairs have been set up with another snack: this time of olive pâté tartlets and sparkling white and chiaretto Bardolino wine. Back on the road again … Keep going! More vistas, vineyards and profuse olive orchards await us, and after having digested the last snack, real hunger sets in as we arrive at wine cellar. Here we park our bikes which we will not be needing anymore… We sit down and enjoy our “deserved rest”, tasting cold meats, cheese, and bruschetta… savouring the bouquet of an extra-virgin olive oil and the wines of the area: white, rosè and red, a complete range of the typical wines of the area. All of a sudden we remember that our return is with our bus! So more wine for the road if we can handle it…
The price includes • mountain-bike rental • mountain-bike instructor and guide • 3 refreshment stops along the way with small snacks • 1 light lunch including tasting of wines and typical products at the winery • bicycle return transport

Teambuilding Activities The term team building means 'building a synergy in a group of people, a team'. The best chances to form a group, can be found while participating in outdoor sports that involve collaboration among the participants, solving minor problems, such as finding the right path or waiting for those in need. With help of expert guides we can offer fun and useful team building activities for every group of companies, or any type of event. Your business groups can find accommodation in our Hotel Caesius Thermae in Bardolino, which offers a wellness area of 3,000 square meters and also boasts a full conference center with several meeting rooms (the largest with 300 seats). Hospitality and expertise in organizing corporate events, gala dinners and a complete service for all groups.

The corporate event can be integrated with different outdoor activities. Here are some of them:

Mountainbike orienteering:
Photographic treasure hunt
the group split in teams will receive a map of the area and should collaborate in finding the right route to get to the end terminal. A race where, rather than speed, the team collaboration will be essential to avoid mistakes in the direction. In fact, in the hills of Bardolino it is easy to get into a small road downhill which, if it not the correct one, may become a steep uphill to get back on the right route ...
A map of the area and goals to look for and photograph. Equipped with digital cameras, the participants will have to find the targets and document them. A house in ruins, a rare tree, a small church in the country, a particular bottle of wine ... all of this in the list of objectives. On returning we will count the pictures and decide the winner
