When it comes to Sports & Activities, the lake is a veritable adventure playground for adults, a top destination for windsurfers, mountain bikers and climbers. The Dos & Don'ts tell you what you absolutely have to avoid on Saturday afternoon and why you should leave your car as often as possible (and not just for environmental reasons).

To help you get around there's a detailed road atlas inside, useful town maps of Bardolino, Riva del Garda, Salo and Sirmione in the backcover, plus a handy pull-out map.
