Ever heard of the Varone Waterfall? If you’re planning a stay in Riva del Garda, this natural wonder is an absolute must-see, and it’s just 200 meters from Hotel Alberello. A short stroll and you’ll find yourself immersed in an enchanted atmosphere, where the force of water has sculpted the rock over millennia, creating a truly unique spectacle.
Imagine strolling through lush gardens, with flowers and plants from all over the world, a peaceful oasis of beauty that prepares you for your encounter with the waterfall. The park entrance, designed at the beginning of the 20th century by the same architect as the Vittoriale degli Italiani, introduces you to an almost magical world.
Two caves, one upper and one lower, allow you to admire the waterfall from different perspectives. In the lower cave, you’ll feel enveloped by the power of the water cascading down with a roar, creating a refreshing mist and a surreal atmosphere. In the upper cave, on the other hand, you can observe the waterfall from above, admiring its majesty and the force with which it plunges into the deep gorge.
Did you know that this place has also inspired great artists? The writer Thomas Mann, during a holiday on Lake Garda, was so fascinated by the Varone Waterfall that he described it in detail in his famous novel “The Magic Mountain”.
But the Varone Waterfall is not just a feast for the eyes. It’s a place rich in history, inaugurated in 1874 in the presence of kings and princes. Since then, it has become one of the most popular destinations for tourism on Lake Garda, a place to spend a few hours immersed in nature, perhaps with a picnic in the park or a relaxing break in the gardens.
And if after this experience you want to deepen your knowledge of the area, you can visit nearby Lake Tenno, whose waters feed the Magnone stream that gives life to the waterfall. Or you can dedicate yourself to one of the many activities offered in the area, such as hiking or biking, water sports or visits to the surrounding medieval villages.
In short, a stay at Hotel Alberello is the perfect opportunity to discover the Varone Waterfall and be captivated by its beauty. Don’t miss the chance to have an unforgettable experience in contact with nature, just a short walk from the comfort and hospitality of our hotel.
We look forward to seeing you!
