It is situated 190 metres above sea level. This region is widely known for its mountains (the Dolomites as well as southern part of the Alps) as well as for some lakes, for instance the lake Garda, which every year attracts millions of people from all over the world. It is a paradise for windsurfing, as the so called „Ora“, the breeze of lake Garda.
