Your Vertical Base on Lake Garda
When you say climbing, you say Garda Trentino. Staying at Hotel Glocal in Torbole means being at the epicenter of Europe’s vertical paradise. Whether you’re an experienced climber looking for the grade or a beginner wanting to touch rock for the first time, our location is your ideal “belay station.”
Just 2 km from Hotel Glocal, heading south on the Verona shore, you’ll find one of Lake Garda’s most iconic walls: Corno di Bo’. It’s not just a crag, it’s a unique sensory experience where the gray limestone meets the deep blue of the lake.

The Post-Climb “Dive”: The base of the crag is a small beach. There’s nothing better than finishing the last pitch and diving straight into the waters of Lake Garda.
