arda changed pace for a weekend, pausing a moment with no car traffic and roads once again for people only. Credit for this goes to the last edition of Lake Garda 42 Showdown – Peak Lake Garda, which took place from 10 to 12 April in the Limone sul Garda to Malcesine area. It\u2019s an event which succeeds every year in turning one of the lake\u2019s most iconic sections into a sport theatre overlooking the water with a spectacular backdrop.<\/p>\n\n

\u201cIt is an event which stops the whole system in its tracks,\u201d says Silvio Rigatti, president of Garda Trentino SpA and the event\u2019s organiser. \u201cThe traffic stops and the nature Garda treats us to can finally be enjoyed. We should do it more often.\u201d <\/p>\n\n

The itinerary offered athletes and the general public a novel view of the area. \u201cStarting from Limone and finishing in Malcesine means showcasing the incredible natural resources the lake offers us,\u201d continues Rigatti. \u201cWithout traffic the views feel completely different.\u201d But there\u2019s one thing which defines the event more than any other: sustainability. \u201cWe believe in the importance of stopping the traffic for a few hours for a run.\u201d It may seem simple but it moves in a very clear direction: tourism capable of respecting and promoting the local area.<\/p>\n\n

There\u2019s a great deal of complex team work behind the event\u2019s success, with the support of local communities and councils. \u201cThe result is made possible by the contribution of tried and tested partners such as Comunico, which gets involved where necessary to ensure safety and promote the area\u2019s strengths,\u201d explains Rigatti. The goal is to make Peak Lake Garda a fixed date, strategically positioned near Easter, with the twofold intention of \u201cdistributing tourist numbers more evenly throughout the year and consolidating Garda Trentino as a benchmark outdoor destination, for everything from running and cycling to climbing.\u201d<\/p>\n\n
