Spring is beautifully lush and bright-green in the Dolomites. The crowds are not there yet. But beware of closed trails due to snow.

Spring

June to mid-July is the best time to enjoy hiking and avoid crowds. It's cooler than other parts of Italy, so the weather is enjoyable compared to further south.

Summer

Fall is beautiful and majestic in the Dolomites. Iconic hikes are still open but it starts becoming chilly at high altitudes.

Fall

Winters are beautiful in the Dolomites with plenty of world-class ski resorts, but you won't be able to visit most of the attractions due to snow.

Hidden Gem of Italy

The Dolomites – Hidden Gem of Italy

Gardone Riviera is a small town on the western shore of Lake Garda in northern Italy. It is known for its beautiful gardens, historic villas, and scenic promenade along the lakefront.

Some of the popular attractions in Gardone Riviera include the Heller Botanical Garden, which features a variety of plants from around the world, and the Vittoriale degli Italiani, a complex of buildings and gardens that was the home of the Italian poet Gabriele D'Annunzio.

The town also has several restaurants and cafes where you can enjoy local cuisine and drinks while taking in the views of the lake. We personally love this little town and its promenade.

Lake Garda dazzles with its Mediterranean charm, surrounded by mountains. It's a haven for water sports, cycling, and savoring Italian lake life at its finest, with picturesque towns dotting its shores.
