There are many attractions for young and old, trips on the lake, visits to Isola del Garda or Isola dei Conigli, walks in nature, village festivals in small medieval villages, processions and traditional religious events.
Easter is one of the most beautiful and loved holidays of the year by young and old: outdoor sports to explore the luxuriant landscape with spectacular panoramas between mountains, hills and the crystal clear waves of Lake Garda.
Thanks to the mild climate, Lake Garda is undoubtedly the ideal place for an Easter holiday with the family, to relax or try new activities and enjoy the good cuisine of the Lombardy coast.
For the more sporty there is the possibility of having fun with mountain bikes, or for those who love the mountains, excursions on Monte Baldo, whose peak can be reached via a cable car from the nearby town of Malcesine, and for the less sensitive to the cold, sailing and windsurfing in the waves of the beautiful Lake Garda.
The Sigurtà Garden Park in Valeggio sul Mincio is the second most beautiful park in Europe. Always open at Easter, it offers splendid flowery meadows and sumptuous flowerbeds, among which it is possible to take pleasant walks, savoring the scent of the flowers and the beauty of the place.
In April, the flowering of the tulips dominates the Sigurtà Garden Park. About a million blooms in that time! With its 60 hectares, the park offers many attractions: the big oak, the water gardens, the avenue of roses and even a labyrinth.
An interesting alternative for children is to visit the Giocabosco Park with fairies and elves who enchant young and old every year. Giocabosco was born with the mission of bringing children closer to the natural environment through the imagination and a thematic circuit that promotes environmental education and playing in nature, particularly beautiful at Easter.
The Parco del Giocobosco is about half an hour's drive from the San Giorgio Resort, the excursion is suitable for families with children from 2 to 8 years old.
There are also numerous traditions and customs on Lake Garda that celebrate Easter.
Events and festivals take place in all the main villages of the area, with live music, culinary appointments, village festivals and sacred and profane celebrations.
On Easter day, Tremosine hosts the Festa dello S-Ciapì, which dates back to an ancient local popular tradition.
The protagonists of the festival are the hard-boiled eggs colored with infusions of herbs or shells. The game consists of holding a hard-boiled egg while your opponent hits it with another egg. The winner is the one who manages to keep his own intact and to break the other's.
The "loser" must deliver the egg to the "winner". The game has kept intact the ancient and simple flavor of the traditions of the past.
