This eight-day hiking circuit traces the full shoreline of Lake Garda through Trentino, Lombardy and Veneto. You move between alpine cliffs, olive groves and lakeside promenades, using boats, a cable car and a shuttle to link daily walks of moderate length. Highlights include the cliff-hugging Sonnensteig to Limone, the waterfall valley behind Toscolano, the Rocca di Garda viewpoint, and the panoramic Busatte stairways on the final stage back to Riva del Garda. Expect Mediterranean flora, medieval villages and constant lake views.
