  • Torri del Benaco – the historic center

The tour will offer the opportunity to experience nature at 360°, completely immersed in greenery, among the suggestive panoramas and walks in the woods. Culinary discoveries will be another element of the day. It will begin with a visit to the olive grove at the “Le Prandine” farm, in its namesake location located a few kilometers from the town of Torri del Benaco.
In this context, the agricultural and commercial project will be presented, focused on the strength of the land, its valorization and the potential of their product, olive oil, as a tool for recognizing the territory’s identity, through the prestigious “Garda Dop” brand.

After this important visit, we will move to the small hamlet of Pai (transport by van), from which we will start a trekking on foot, following the “Senter De Mes” (middle path) that also crosses a suspended bridge at 42 meters high, 34.7 meters long, an adrenaline-filled experience that allows you to reach the beautiful town of Crero where you can get lost in the beauty of its details among stone houses, disused rustic buildings, flowered terraces, glimpses and enchanting landscapes.

Well, it's time to stop in the beautiful restaurant “Trattoria Panoramico”, a place where you can enjoy a well-deserved break to taste typical dishes, also based on lake fish, and enjoy a spectacular lake view.

The visit will end in the historic center of Torri del Benaco (transport by van), where, accompanied by a qualified tourist guide, it will be possible to visit the historic places (including the famous Scaligero Castle), its well-kept alleys that lead to the edge of the lake (where you can stop to relax a little, to breathe in the smell of its currents), before continuing into the heart of the village, among artisan workshops and places of art with a guide who will explain the history, what those walls tell.

Finally, it will be possible to purchase the products of the “Le Prandine” farm at its characteristic sales point in the historic center.
