A place worth seeking out, far from the bustling crowds of the valley floor, amidst the lush greenery at the foot of Mount Stivo... is Val di Gresta, the rustic soul of Garda Trentino, where beauty meets goodness!
It spans from the 200-metre Loppio Plain to the 1300-metre Passo Bordola. Here, well-tended fields and vegetable gardens are bordered by distinctive dry-stone walls, offering a variety of tasty and healthy vegetables. Cauliflower, savoy cabbage, lettuce, potatoes, tomatoes, courgette, aubergine, garlic, and onions are just a few of the most popular varieties.
The district’s agricultural spirit thrives on the meeting of unique terrain, strategically placed fields, and mild temperatures. Val di Gresta enjoys southern exposure and proximity to Lake Garda, which balances the beneficial effects of the Ora wind.
In addition to this unique calling, sustainable organic farming practices are intimately linked to the rhythm of the seasons — a cadence set not by clocks but by the harmonious flow of natural events.
A visit to Val di Gresta invites you to embrace this slower pace of life, and to savour each moment. Even when opting to engage in physical activities... the revitalising impact of nature is guaranteed!
