Water sports and excursions in Riva del Garda

Visitors who choose Riva del Garda and, more generally, Garda Trentino for their camping holidays often do so because of the opportunities for active holidays. One of the strengths of this destination, in fact, is the wide range of water sports on offer: sailing, windsurfing and canoeing are extremely popular and there's a whole series of newer disciplines geared to entertaining visitors, even the least active among them. Moreover, away from the water you can find tennis courts and five-a-side football pitches for fun games, or head out for an excursion: trekking, mountain biking and horse riding are all ideal activities for the breathtaking scenery of Garda Trentino. Not far away - approximately 5 kilometres each - are Lake Tenno and Lake Ledro, as well as the picturesque village of Pregasina.
