Tremosine Lake Garda

Starting on this Lake going North to South and back up the East side of the Lake we are covering all the towns in turn. Please see below for details and accommodation.

 Tremosine Lake Garda
TREMOSINE LAKE GARDA

Tremosine (over 72sqkm & therefore quite large) is divided into 18 little "frazioni"; Pieve is the frazione with the town hall (therefore quite important), Vesio is the largest and Campione is famous for its water sports, such as kite surfing. The other are: Ariàs, Bassanega, Cadignano, Castone, Mezzema, Musio, Pregasio, Priezzo, Secastello, Sermerio, Sompriezzo, Ustecchio, Vesio, Villa, Voiandes & Voltino.

Tremosine has a very famous road; Provincial Road No. 38, which is the Porto-to-Pieve road which rises from the Garda lake road, winds up to the verdant plateau of Tremosine (300m) and through the forra gorge of the Brasa river.

When this road was opened, on 18 May 1913, Winston Churchill called it “the eighth wonder of the world”. Since then "Her Majesty’s secret service" has used the road in a James Bond film and numerous car manufacturers, such as BMW and Mercedes, have used it as a backdrop to advertise their new cars.

The towns nestle amidst valleys or perch upon the small hills and plateaus covered with meadows, olive trees and pine trees. The altitude varies enormously from 65 m at Campione to 1,976 m at the peak of Mount Caplone. Many trails wind through the mountain and are frequented by mountain bikers and hikers.

Tremosine : Its spectacular scenery and is worth the visit just for this! If however you like a little history then there are the churches, may of which are scattered amongst the villages. One of the more important is the S. Giovanni Battista Church in Pieve with an 11th century Romanesque bell tower. The church also has many interesting paintings and artifacts too numerous to mention here. Another church worth praising is S. Bartolomeo in Vesio which has recently had an organ restored originally built by the famous organ-maker Gaetano Callido in the 18th century.
