Holidays in Drena on Garda lake

Just 15 km from Lake Garda is the charming town of Drena, immersed in a unique natural landscape between sea and mountains with a mild Mediterranean climate typical of these places. The town is known for its manor, Castel Drena, which, dating back to the 12th century, now hosts concerts, art exhibitions, and shows.

Thanks to its ideal location, it is the perfect destination for those who want to spend a relaxing holiday on Lake Garda, without giving up sporting activities. Lake Garda is a popular destination for lovers of water sports, such as sailing, kitesurfing, windsurfing, canoeing, snorkeling, kayaking, stand up paddling, and swimming. For those looking for a bit of tranquility, its banks invite you to relax under the sun.

Drena is the ideal home base for those who love walking and climbing via ferrata. From the town you can easily reach the Rio Sallagoni via ferrata, a path that goes up a spectacular gorge near the castle, with a Tibetan bridge and overhanging stretches that cross unusual landscapes.

North of Castel Drena there are a series of itineraries to be covered on foot and by mountain bike totally immersed in nature, among thick and centuries-old chestnut groves that produce the famous Drena chestnuts, the protagonists of a great festival every year. Also close to Castel Drena is a sports center with a soccer field, a tennis court, and a fitness trail.

Don’t miss out on a visit to the open air sculpture park, Open Air Gallery, full of artwork displayed between two paths: one dedicated to the Sun and the other to the Moon, and well integrated into the surrounding landscape. An attraction for everyone, especially for the little ones who will have fun with the treasure hunt for hidden works along the way.
