View the lake from Monte Baldo

View the lake from Monte Baldo

Monte Baldo is a mountain in the Italian municipality of Malcesine, which has a small population of around 3,800 residents. You'll find this wonderous place on the eastern side of Lake Garda and many consider it as a characteristic place of the entire italian area.
When you're there, don't miss a trip up the mountain, Monte Baldo, which is a rocky spur that rises out of the waters. The views of the landscape below from the mountaintop on a clear day are an absolute dream and there are many fascinating sights to see. You can marvel at the changing waters of Lake Garda as they transform from white waves blowing in the wind to a deep blue colour, and then to silver. Best of all, when the sun sets, you can admire the gleaming gold of its rays reflected in the water.

The Monte Baldo rises up majestically to over 2000 meters at its highest peaks. The climate is mild, influenced by the lake's presence. In winter, temperatures can fall below freezing zero but you can still enjoy the view of lush Mediterranean flora, including olive and citrus trees. In the summer enjoy a pleasant breeze up the mountain and comfortable temperatures.

Both Monte Baldo and Malcesine are the ideal places for tourists who want to take in the sublime views and relax in this lakeside setting. You take a cable car up to the summit. As you ascend, the cable car rotates around so you get a 360-degree view. Once at the top, there's a cafe and a shop and you can look down at those walking along the lake or amidst the olive trees on the surrounding paths. Watch people cycling, swimming, or climbing aboard one of the many boats or mini-lake cruises. Or, go on your own hike when up on the mountain and take in all the spectacular sights.

When conditions are clear, you can watch the paragliders taking off from the mountain top. When up the mountain, on one side you'll see Lake Baldo and the Dolomite Mountains and on the other, the ski slopes as well as a view that seems to stretch on forever. Don't miss such beautiful glimpses of the lake and the mountain range from Monte Baldo and enjoy a fabulous time in Malcesine and all the delights it has to offer. Whether you're on a day trip or a longer break, this is a must-see attraction.
