Where Trentino meets the Mediterranean
If you think of Trentino as a place of snow, forests and alpine silence, Alto Garda may surprise you. Life here has a different feel — both in climate and in culture. It is no coincidence that Olympic athletes train here, sport-related startups are born here, and a mindful, international kind of tourism is especially strong here.
This is the Mediterranean side of Trentino, without giving up services, culture or opportunities. Living in Alto Garda means choosing an active but relaxed lifestyle. You can work here, including remotely, and then really switch off: with a bike ride along the lakefront, a walk in the mountains or an aperitivo with a view. And Rovereto and Trento are easy to reach, even without a car.
Arco and Riva del Garda are the two main towns: lively, dynamic and popular places to live, also among people from Trentino themselves. And if you want to go a little further, Ledro Valley is one of the area’s gems, with lush forests and a lake with a thousand-year history, celebrated by the Pile-Dwelling Museum, a UNESCO World Heritage site.

Work and business, between outdoor living and innovation
From an economic point of view too, Alto Garda is one of the most dynamic areas in Trentino. Riva del Garda and Arco have an active and diverse business community, with over 4,000 companies operating in the area. They range from tourism to light manufacturing, from professional services to renewable energy.
Thanks to its international appeal — 50% of tourists come from abroad — and the influence of the lake, life here offers a rare mix of alpine authenticity and global openness. And as we know, authentic places attract people. More and more are choosing to live here: to work in nearby Rovereto, to collaborate with local companies or, increasingly, to develop their own projects remotely, supported by coworking spaces and reliable connections.
If you’re looking for a change of scenery but still want to stay close to a productive business environment, Alto Garda is an excellent choice.
