Lake Garda Itineraries: Mt Baldo

Mount Baldo, with its 2218 meters is Verona province highest mountain. For long time it has been considered an old, inactive volcano, also because of the many thermal springs around southern Lake Garda. In fact, Mount Baldo took its actual shape during the ice age which also created Lake Garda. At that time the tip of Mount Baldo was the only area that emerged from the immense glacier that covered the region until 20.000 years ago. This is why many different varieties of plants could develop so that some species of flowers, especially rare wild orchids, are named "baldensis" in their scientific name. Because of the richness and variety of vegetation growing on its slopes, Mount Baldo is often called "Europe Garden".

A rope-way connects Malcesine with Mount Baldo. From there you will have a breathtaking view of the incredibly blue lake. Cages spin while you're going up so you will enjoy a 360° panorama.
