Skirting the main road that joins Gargnano and Campione di Tremosine, at the foot of the steep rocky wall plunging to the lake Garda from a height of 300 meters, is the 18th century lemon grove of "Pra de la fam". Partly restored in 1985 by the Comunità Montana Alto Garda, it is tended using the traditional methods of citrus fruit growers in the Garda region. It is the only lemon grove on the western shore of the lake garda that is open to the public. Visiting hours: Wednesday, from 10:00 a.m. to 12:00 noon. From April to October it is open Wednesday and Sunday from 10:00 a.m. to 12:00 noon and on Friday from 3:00 to 5:00 p.m. Free admission. Reservations are recommended for groups.

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 garda, hills, and mountains up to 1560 m in altitude in the area offer exceptional panoramas. Olive trees on the typical terraces overlook the lake garda, while the Mediterranean brush (ilex, laurel, rosemary, etc.) grows along the rocky walls. Further inland are lovely meadows 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 recently restored sanctuary is one of the most famous places of worship on Lake Garda due to its architectural and artistic value and the historical events of which it 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 well-preserved 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 notorious 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.
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 Tondi, one of Brescia's most famous organ maker.
