Marciaga: A €13M Green Makeover for Lake Garda’s Best-Kept Secret

The Lake Garda hinterland is so much more than a great view. It is a rare escape where quiet hills meet modern living—offering a peaceful refuge just a stone’s throw from the busy lakefront.

Marciaga, a stunning hilltop village in Costermano sul Garda, is the perfect example of this balance. And it’s getting even better. Thanks to a major €13.5 million public investment plan, the local administration is completely reshaping the area’s roads, services, and green mobility.

Car-Free and Eco-Friendly: The New Garda Cycle Path

The highlight of this green transition is a brand-new, €3.3 million cycle path linking Costermano (Baesse) directly to Garda. This key route will connect the upcoming Garda Ring (Ciclovia dell’Anello del Garda) with the famous EuroVelo 7 (the “Sun Route”), which runs all the way from Norway to Malta.

Once finished, you can ride straight to the lake in complete safety—no car required. It’s sustainable living, made simple

Active Living in Marciaga: The Sport Park and Bicigrill

The heart of Marciaga’s wellness scene is the new Sport Park (Parco dello Sport), a dedicated green space built for outdoor fitness.

Winding trails and relaxation spots surround the local Bicigrill—the perfect pitstop to grab a coffee, rent or tune up your e-bike, or enjoy an afternoon aperitif overlooking the hills.

Just down the road, the Parco della Scoperta (Discovery Park) in Castion Veronese adds to this “open-air” lifestyle with sensory trails and aromatic gardens designed for both kids and adults to reconnect with nature.

With these updates, Marciaga and Costermano are quickly becoming the ultimate base for experiencing Lake Garda on two wheels, at a slower, healthier pace. It’s a thriving green ecosystem where everyday life just feels better—making this hillside one of the most desirable spots on the lake.
