 Eighteen small villages -- one (Campione) on the lake and the others (Ariàs, Bassanega, Cadignano, Castone, Mezzema, Musio, Pregasio, Priezzo, Secastello, Sermerio, Sompriezzo, Ustecchio, Vesio, Villa, Voiandes, Voltino, and Pieve, which is the administrative center) on the plateau overlooking the lake -- form the community of Tremosine. With its 72 square kilometers of territory, it is one of the largest provinces of Brescia. Tremosine can be reached from Limone by way of Tamas, from Tignale along the Tignalga road, or along the provincial road which from Porto on the Gardesana road climbs to Pieve. The natural environment is varied: towns nestle amidst valleys or perch upon the knolls, hills and plateaus covered with meadows, olive trees and pine trees. Altitudes vary from 65 m, where Campione is situated, to 1,976 m at the peak of Mount Caplone on the border of the communities of Tignale and Magasa. Many trails snake up along the mountain to places which until 1918 marked the border with the Austrian - Hungarian Empire. Excursionists, mountain bikers and more exigent athletes can therefore choose from a wide range of routes.
