Family holidays with children in Trentino at the AktivHotel SantaLucia in Torbole

Sun, lake and mountains. Excursions, sports, games and, above all, lots of fun.
Whether you’re looking for an active holiday or a bit of relaxation, at Lake Garda you can do anything, really anything you want with your family. We at the AktivHotel SantaLucia have put together a list of more or less well-known activities to give you ideas and not only that ...

A cycling tour and a swim in the river Sarca
We suggest a lovely cycling tour on a safe cycle path: the route leads from Torbole first to Arco, then to Ceniga as far as the Roman bridge over the river Sarca. Near the bridge, a path leads to a small pebble beach on the riverbank, which is mainly visited by locals. The river water is always fresh and it’s fun to splash around in it before or after a picnic break. For the return journey, cycle instead through fruit trees on a paved side road that leads back to Arco, past Prabi, which is a famous place for climbers and hikers. Once you reach the Arco bridge, you will find the entrance to the cycling route that takes you back to Torbole.
In Torbole you can rent bikes, either mountain bikes or electric mountain bikes or city bikes, including trailers for smaller children.

Up Monte Baldo with the Malcesine Monte Baldo cable car
The Malcesine Monte Baldo cable car is open 10 months a year and takes you up to Monte Baldo at 1,760 metres above sea level in around 20 minutes.
This cable car is very famous because the cabin of the second section makes a 360-degree turn during the ride, and you can see the entire lake from north to south, the hills and the mountains in all their splendour.
Once you get off the cable car, you will find one of the most famous viewpoints in the area to the north, with a view of all the peaks of Monte Baldo and Lake Garda below.
If you want to walk a few kilometres on an easy route that is almost always flat, you will reach the northernmost point of Monte Baldo, where another “10 points” view awaits you, but this time to Alto Garda and Monte Altissimo in Nago.
The small Malcesine with its Scaliger castle on the rocky outcrop and the medieval old town is also definitely worth a visit.
Malcesine is 10 kilometres from Torbole and can be reached by boat, bus or car.

A boat trip to the Riva del Garda hydroelectric power station
A boat trip on the waters of Lake Garda is always a great attraction: fun for the little ones and fascinating for mum and dad. You can reach the port of Riva del Garda near the hydroelectric power plant by boat from Torbole.
“Space for energy, a place to marvel at”, writes Hydro Tour Dolomiti to introduce the project of the four hydroelectric power plants, one of which is located in Riva del Garda. And that’s absolutely true! You will see how humans and nature can work together to generate clean energy. A multimedia, engaging tour awaits you in the impressive centrepiece, which was created by Giancarlo Maroni, the famous architect of D’Annunzio and also of the “Vittoriale degli Italiani” monument in the 1920s.
The boat landing stage in Torbole is 500 m from the hotel and can be reached on foot via the lake promenade. The port of Riva del Garda is just a few metres from the town centre.

Adrenaline with guaranteed fun for everyone
Did you know that Lake Garda also ranks first in Italy when it comes to theme parks?
There are so many, and we have selected three for you.

Gardaland
Surrounded by lush greenery, Gardaland is the most famous amusement park at Lake Garda and also the largest in Italy and one of the most visited in Europe. Thirty-five different attractions await you at Gardaland, including rides, games and shows. You’ll get plenty of adrenaline from riding the roller coaster or watching the enthusiastic children as they enter the house by Prezzemolo, the green “parsley” tree mascot of Gardaland.

Gardaland is located in Castelnuovo del Garda between Peschiera and Lazise, 53 km from Torbole.

Caneva Aqua Park
Caneva Aquapark is fun for adults and children, but also provides opportunities for sunbathing and relaxation.
Get ready for water slides you can ride solo or in a boat to dive into the pool at full speed or seek tranquillity in tropical corners with white sand and pools with loungers for a quiet swim and a little rest.

The Canevaworld Aqua Park is part of the Movieland Park Resort and is located in Lazise, 50 km from Torbole.

Busatte Adventure
More than 50 acrobatic courses await you in the treetops at Busatte Adventure Park, with heights ranging from two to 15 metres. The park also includes a new BMX track, cross-country trails for MTBs, a basketball court and a large green meadow. The famous panoramic hike on the “Busatte-Tempesta” staircase starts from the Busatte Park.

The Busatte Adventure is located in Torbole, 500 metres from the hotel.

The pleasure of sitting in the sun while the children play
Imagine a warm summer’s day at Lake Garda, a soft deckchair by the pool, a book, a drink and everything surrounded by the peace and greenery of our beautiful olive trees. Not far from you, your children can play on the slide or the swing, on the trampoline or with the table football or table tennis.
