Grand Hotel Fasano

A private transfer sets the tone before heading to the helipad for a helicopter flight into the Dolomites. As the aircraft lifts, rugged peaks and deep valleys come into view, opening up a perspective few get to see. The flight touches down at 2,400 metres, where restored First World War trenches sit among the mountains.

Time slows as you walk through these historic sites and pause for a simple aperitif, surrounded by wide-open silence and long views. Stories of the past feel closer here, shaped by altitude and place. The onward flight traces alpine ridgelines and dramatic slopes, offering a clear sense of scale, history and landscape coming together in one journey.

Lake Garda opens up best when explored slowly, with paths that invite cycling along the water and into the hills. From Grand Hotel Fasano, you can step straight into routes that pass old villas, gardens, olive groves and lakeside towns. You’ll set the pace – a short or a longer bike ride with gentle climbs and wide views across the lake.

Stops come naturally: a bench overlooking the water, a small café, a shaded stretch under trees. The scenery keeps shifting, from manicured gardens to open stretches of blue and green, making every turn feel rewarding and fun.

Early mornings on Lake Garda set the tone for a calm, focused start to the day. On select Mondays and Thursdays, the pier becomes an open-air studio for Vinyasa yoga, with the lake stretching out in front of you. The session links breath with steady movement, making it easy to follow whether you’re new to yoga or have an established practice.

Cool air, gentle sounds from the water and the slow pace of the class help you ease into the day without pressure. Open to all ages and levels, these complimentary sessions offer a simple way to move, stretch and feel present before the day unfolds.
