Eight
towns make up the community. Fasano (bordering with
Toscolano Maderno) and Gardone Sotto are on the lake.
Gardone Sopra, Montecucco, Supiane, Morgnaga and Tresnico
sit on the hill. San Michele, which sits above the rest, is
found at the entrance of Val di Sur. Mounts Lavino (907 Mts.),
Forametto (1240 Mts.) and Spino (1488 Mts.) dominate the area,
which lies on the shore between the mouths of the Bornico
River to the east and Barbarano River to the west. The
uncultivated, wood-covered hinterland near Valsabbia has
many walking paths and trails. There is a huge variety of
exotic vegetation: cedars, magnolias, camphor trees, palm
trees, etc. make Gardone an internationally famous "garden
city". Villas and hotels surrounded by large parks on the
shore have preserved their original 19th century Liberty
style. |
