Have you thought and thought about it, but still can’t come up with anything new? Don’t worry: this year, the family experience package offered by Garda Dolomiti is even more packed with options! You’ll have no trouble finding the perfect one to make your family vacation unforgettable!
As you know by now, the Garda Trentino Experience are designed for people of all ages. The goal? To highlight the region by promoting its best features—whether they be scenic, natural, culinary, athletic, or historical and artistic. These offerings complement the region’s already extensive selection of family-friendly activities (click HERE for more information).
There really is something for everyone: from guided walks through little-known spots, to excursions at special times of day to experience the thrills that only nature’s spectacle can offer, to itineraries that explore local traditions. There’s no shortage of popular sports, tastings of local products, and opportunities to discover historical and artistic gems in innovative and unique ways.
The experiences are located throughout the entire Garda Dolomiti region, so not only Lake Garda, but also surrounding areas, such as the lush Ledro Valley, the Valle dei Laghi and the area around Comano. The perfect opportunity to discover the secrets and experience the thrills that each of these places has to offer!

Agribreak
Surrounded by the lush greenery of the Agriconda farm (Vigo Lomaso), you can enjoy a special snack: three boxes featuring different combinations of local products, designed to suit a variety of tastes and appetites. The experience begins with the hike up to the farm, a trail divided into stages with interactive and scenic stops.
When you arrive at the farm, Francesco will be there to welcome you, and you can put together your own snack with his help. Choose from jams, marmalades, sauces, cheeses, and cold cuts—everything is delicious! All that’s left to do is settle into a cozy, quiet corner surrounded by ponies and other animals.
We chose the largest box and split it among the four of us (two adults and two little girls). Look at all these treats below! Book your experience HERE.
Picnic at Sunset
Set against the stunning backdrop of the Agriconda orchards (Maso Maserac), overlooking Lomaso, you can enjoy a delicious picnic featuring local products, prepared with care and good taste. Take the kids on the “hike up to Maso”: you’ll meet sheep, ponies, bunnies, a little donkey, and a Scottish cow! A must-try: you’ll be just as enchanted as we were!

Let’s Harvest
Also at Maso Agriconda, from July 10 through September 30, you can take part in “Fruttiamo” on Monday through Thursday afternoons: a fun experience to explore the farm and its berry crops—blackberries, blueberries, and raspberries, among others. After a stroll through the fields and meeting the farm animals, you’ll also get to taste these delicious fruits as part of a tasty snack.
Flowers and Soap Bars at the Foletto Museum
A special opportunity to visit the apothecary’s garden, where the Foletto family grows the herbs and plants from which they extract the active ingredients for their products. You’ll have the chance to make a bar of soap using the flowers and herbs you’ve picked yourself. The experience concludes with a visit to the Foletto Museum, where you can see some original machinery still in working order! Every Friday through the end of June 2025. Read more about it here: Foletto Museum in Pieve di Ledro
Breakfast at the Farm
The best way to start the weekend? There’s nothing better than a delicious breakfast at Agrisalus. This farm campground, nestled in the lush countryside of Pratosaiano, offers a delicious breakfast/brunch buffet, which can be complemented (for the kids) by a fun tour—led by the staff—to meet the farm animals. Every Friday, Saturday, and Sunday starting at 8:00 a.m.
Little Cheesemakers
Also at Agrisalus in Arco, children can learn how to make cheese with Giulia, the cheesemaker. This workshop lets them get hands-on experience with the process of turning milk into cheese. We made “primo sale”… it was magical to see the milk solidify and to knead the cheese with our hands.
Not to mention the joy in the children’s eyes when they see the finished product! Of course, you can taste the cheese… Book this wonderful workshop HERE.
The experience ends with a self-guided tour of the farm and a delicious snack of homemade ice cream, yogurt, or panna cotta.
Mysterious Shore
A charming evening stroll to discover the secrets and mysteries of the past. Every Friday at 6:00 p.m., from early June through late September. We’ve already tried it out for you! The Secrets of Riva Misteriosa: Click to read our story.

Val di Cavedine on Horseback
A horseback ride around Lake Cavedine, perfect both for experienced riders and for those who want to try this activity for the first time. All this is possible thanks to the guide’s experience and a natural approach to riding, based on communication and a positive relationship between the horse and its rider. Amid wild landscapes and idyllic views, we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves: here’s our experience Cavalcailvento Riding Stable in Cavedine
The Hidden Waterfall
Guided SUP tour to one of the most picturesque and unspoiled spots in Garda Trentino.
