The towns and villages around Lake Garda have a full programme of celebrations geared specially at families for the festive season. However, for those who are looking for a stimulating start to 2016 after a New Year's Eve of partying, there's the traditional mid-day dip into the lake from Piazza Catena port at Riva del Garda. Novelty for this year is the Bike Jump for the even more daring – that means jumping into the water on a bicycle. Entertainment (for spectators) guaranteed!
