Notes

As Limone is a tourist attraction on Lake Garda, the footpath and cycle path are heavily used by both pedestrians and cyclists, so please take care. Best done on a clear day to see the mountains and Monte Baldo; on a very clear day, you might even catch a glimpse of Sirmione. Limone is easily accessible by car (car park with over 500 spaces at the town entrance), by public transport (bus and train) and by boat (Lake Garda ferry).

At (1), to avoid the steep steps, turn left. You rejoin the route at (2).

Worth a visit

Visit Limone, a magnificent little village with breathtaking views of Lake Garda, the mountains, Monte Baldo, and even Sirmione on a very clear day.
