Insider Tips: Discover Lake Garda’s Hidden Gems

Santuario Madonna della Corona built into the cliffs above Lake Garda

Welcome to Insider Tips

Want to experience Lake Garda like a local? Our Insider Tips series reveals the region’s best-kept secrets – quiet villages, unforgettable views, and authentic experiences that most visitors miss. Whether it’s a tucked-away trattoria or a scenic hiking path, we’ll help you go beyond the guidebook.

Spotlight: Madonna della Corona – A Sanctuary in the Cliffs

Perched high above the Adige Valley, the Santuario Madonna della Corona is one of northern Italy’s most breathtaking sanctuaries. Built into the sheer cliffs, it’s a place of peace, history, and awe-inspiring views – perfect for adventurous guests and anyone seeking a moment of reflection.

How to visit:

  • Hike from the village of Brentino (steep but rewarding) 
  • Drive to Spiazzi and walk the panoramic path 
  • Check opening hours and special events before you go

Why we love it: It’s a true hidden gem – less crowded than Lake Garda’s main sights, but unforgettable for those who make the journey.
