Lake Garda can boast an outstanding natural heritage, which developed here over the centuries thanks to a peculiar climate. The area of Mount Baldo concentrates vegetation segments typical of a wide variety of environments (mediterranean, alpine, rock and prairie). An itinerary among different species, some of which very rare, can be made in the protected areas and at the Botanical garden, where plants, labelled to be easily recognisable, grow in their natural habitat.
Another lush oasis, the Sigurtà Park, is situated in the town of Valeggio sul Mincio. Its paths, also accessible by bike, wind among woods, lawns, walks bordered by iris, tulips and roses, centennial trees, pines, firs, poplars and ponds containing water lilies, but also turtles and multicoloured fishes.
The Natura Viva Park is engaged in the protection of endangered species and provides information on different kinds of animals. It offers the unique opportunity to get acquainted with over 200 rare animals coming from all over the world, while the adjoining Safari park allows you to watch savannah animals from a safe distance.
