Visiting Tremosine sul Garda

Those who venture into Upper Lake Garda for the first time cannot but be charmed by Tremosine and the amazing Strada della Forra road, known worldwide for its extraordinary beauty and uniqueness, as well as the famous “Terrazza del Brivido”, a panoramic spot perched over the lake.

Tremosine: one of the Most Beautiful Villages in Italy

Apart from Gardone Riviera, Tremosine is the only Lake Garda location that made it into the “Most Beautiful Villages in Italy” list. This is a well-deserved recognition for this large area, composed of 18 hamlets, immersed in the tranquility of nature and overlooking the lake, with its blue waters capturing your eyes.

After leaving the Gardesana coastal road, you take the exciting Strada della Forra and reach Pieve, the seat of Tremosine’s Municipal Office and Pro Loco Tourism Office. You can stroll along the alleys, observe the ancient wash house, sit for a relaxing coffee break, and admire the breathtaking view from the Terrazza del Brivido located by the church of San Giovanni Battista. This is a terrace hanging in the air at an altitude of 350 meters – an impressive vantage point from which you can admire the lake, the coastal road, and Mount Baldo. It’s a palette of colors and views that only Lake Garda can boast.

The Strada della Forra, the eighth wonder of the world

This is how Winston Churchill defined the “Strada della Forra”: you cannot but feel a thrill when traveling on this road! It’s the main access to Tremosine and was built in 1913 inside a canyon created by the Brasa stream over the centuries. This sinuous split in the mountain is an incredibly scenic road with twists and turns, narrowings, tunnels, gorges, and steep rock walls.

The Strada della Forra is one of the favorite routes of the multitude of motorcyclists who every year love to explore the marvels of Lake Garda on their steel horse.

To be sure that the Strada della Forra is accessible, visit the website of the Municipality of Tremosine sul Garda.
