It is truly impossible to attempt to list all the marvels which it is possible to enjoy and take-in in such a brief space. Amongst those such as the immortal Gardone, the Vittoriale, the hermitage of the Montecastello sanctuary, the valleys which together are called "Le Caravelle", it is important to mention some particularly special places.
Of particular interest, for example, is the guided tour which is organised twice a week from the nearby oil mill, as well as other places which are extremely picturesque such as the lemon groves, the mountain refuges, the dairy, multimedia centre and the botanic gardens.
As well as being able to use a bus, twice a day, for free, which is placed at the disposal of the community.

Tignale Things to see   
The municipality of Tignale,which borders with Tremosine,Magasa and Gargnano,consists of Gardola, the administrative center,and the five wards of Piovere,Oldesio,Olzano,Aer and Prabione that spread over the upland plain.The lake,hills,and mountains up to 1560 m in altitude in the area offer exceptional panoramas. Olive trees on the typical terraces overlook the lake , while the Mediterranean brush ( ilex,laurel,rosemary,etc.)grows along the rocky walls. Further inland are lovelymeadows and woods ( pine,ash,chestnut,hornbeam,oak,beech trees ).Tignale can be easily reached using the provincial road that leaves the Gardesana Road about 3 Km north of Gargnano .Not quite as smooth,especially during winter,is the road along the Tignalga that links Tignale and Tremosine. Tignale offers a wide range of modern deluxe tourist facilities including about a dozen hotels and two hotel resorts,as well as residences, rooms to rent, delightful local restaurants,bars,tennis courts,and swimming pools. There are many places where you can hike, go mountain biking or visit by car. 

The Sanctuary   
The Madonna of Montecastello Sanctuary
The recently restored sanctuary is one of the most famous places of worshipon Lake Garda due to its architectural and artistic value and the historical events of whichit has been the protagonist. Built upon the remains of an ancient castle ,the sanctuary has a small chapel called the Casa Santa [ Sacred House ] which dates back to 802 and contains a wellpreserved 14th century fresco from the Giotto school.Of interest are canvases by Andrea Celesti ( 1637-1712) and some votive offerings,including one of the town of Tignale for the slaying of the notorius bandit Zuan Zanone (1617). A hermitage adjoining the church welcomes thousands of pilgrims every year . Small chapels depicting the mysteries of the Holy Rosary line the road that accesses the provincial road. 
S. Zanone Church in Prabione   
Rebuilt in the second half of the 18th century,the church has a single nave. The high altar is dedicated to San Zenone and the two side altars , by the Boscai school, are dedicated to San Carlo Borromeo and Maria Immacolata . In a niche above the baptismal font is an organ by Tonoli, one of Brescia's most famous organ maker.
