A few steps from Borgo Alba Chiara you will find a great beach, called "Bau Beach", ideal for sunbathing by the lake and to make your dog run. Are you ready to dive together in the fresh water of the great Lake Garda? Why not, your four-legged friend will also be able to meet new friends right on this dedicated beach. To reach it, all you have to do is go down the Borgo road to the Statale, cross it and continue straight for 1 minute on foot, you will find it on your left. For any need, there is a bar restaurant that will surely know how to respond to your requests.
2. The Valle delle Cartiere
If your dog likes walking in nature (but who doesn't like it?) and splashing around in the water, we suggest you to visit the Valle delle Cartiere on foot, a wonderful and suggestive route to discover the typical nature and also a historical place, where the first paper mills along the river Toscolano have arisen. Today the ruins represent an exciting historical testimony. Do not forget to bathe with your 4-legged friend in the river water, certainly colder than the lake but very clean, adventurous and full of waterfalls.
3. Walking along the lakefront
Here we are at the moment of relaxation. In the evening it will be truly romantic and relaxing to walk along the lakefront and in the historic center of the town, perhaps eating a good ice cream, in the company of your dog. Your eyes will discover really exciting landscapes.


The ENPA - National Animal Protection Agency - has established that to travel with your dog responsibly it is necessary to bring: the vaccination booklet and the dog passport issued by the ASL, just for expatriation.
