Diving
Diving in Lake Garda is truly a unique experience. In Lake Garda you will find many different types of fish and marine animals and in general the water is very clear and the temperature of the water is nice and warm, especially up to about six meters deep. In addition to the flora and fauna, there is plenty to see while diving in Lake Garda, for example there is a shipwreck near Salo that you can dive to. And near Malcesine there is an old Viking ship somewhere which is certainly worth discovering. There are several shipwrecks in Lake Garda, but at Riva del Garda, for example, there is a very large statue of Christ on the bottom. Enough to discover during your diving activities in Lake Garda!
Paragliding
Paragliding is the simplest and most natural form of flying. Unlike a parachute, which slows down the fall, paragliding is about staying in the air for as long as possible. The mountains of Lake Garda are one of the most beautiful places to practice this wonderful sport, with ever-changing views. From Monte Baldo you circle down in about 20 minutes to a special landing site at Malcesine. Meanwhile enjoying beautiful views of the lake and surroundings! Lake Garda Paragliding Clubs: Paragliding Club Malcesine, Yeti Extreme and Tandem Paragliding.

Be guided by an experienced guide, then all you have to do is enjoy yourself. Below we share a number of addresses where you can go horseback riding at Lake Garda. From a beginners lesson to a relaxed ride; it's all possible! Benaco Horses, Agriturismo Al Lambic and Paradiso Ranch.
