San Zeno di Montagna
San Zeno, the balcony over the lake
This locality, located 700 metres above sea level, dominates the entire Lake Garda basin, enjoying splendid views. The area boasts paths with breathtaking panoramas that are ideal for open-air tourism. It also boasts accommodation facilities for the most demanding tourists and an increasingly attentive food and wine tradition that favours seasonal products. In the autumn season, the typical product par excellence is the DOP chestnut, which is celebrated every year between the end of October and the beginning of November in a festival dedicated to this autumn fruit.
What to do in San Zeno
The traditional quarters of San Zeno (Cà Schena, Cà Sartori, Cà Montagna, Laguna, Castello, etc.) and Mount Baldo, known as Hortus Europae, accompany the visitor on a fascinating walk around the town. The extensive municipal pine forest, woods and mountain pastures are criss-crossed by scenic and easy trails where tourists can practice mountain biking, Nordic walking, paragliding and trekking. The local flora and fauna, rich in rare orchids, ancient chestnut trees, chamois and roe deer, make San Zeno a place to explore.
