Our History
How the first airfield on Lake Garda came to be.
Garda Lake Airfield was born from a passion for flying and the wish to create, on the south-east side of Lake Garda, a space dedicated to light aviation where pilots and enthusiasts can gather.
The project combines the area's tourist appeal, between Lake Garda and Verona, with a constant focus on regulations and operational safety, offering a reference point for ultralight pilots.
Today the airfield welcomes Italian and international pilots, with a functional facility and a management approach centred on safe flying, set in one of the most beautiful landscapes in Italy.
