PIOVERE
This is the first village you pass driving up from the lakeside. It's sunny position offers visitors an enchanting historical centre, beautiful panoramic viewpoints and the Church of San Marco. There are several footpaths where you can walk or go mountain biking from here. We recommend the panoramic and easy walk called "Bassa Via del Garda" (the lower Garda way) that links Piovere to the village of Muslone, hamlet of Gargnano
OLDESIO
Coming up from the lake you drive through Oldesio on the way to the main village Gardola. Surrounded by olive trees, this pleasant village with its lanes, the little Church of San Rocco and the old washing-through, is witness to the way of life of past centuries. From Oldesio there is a beautiful footpath linking the plateau of Tignale to the lakeside, arriving at the harbour of Tignale (quite a difficult walk). You can reach easily the centre of Gardola, passing the village, you will reach the church S.Maria Assunta in about half an hour walk.
