Lake Garda Tours: Malcesine

The northern part of Lake Garda is completely different from its southern part. Shores narrow and become rocky and steep, landscape becomes alpine, water becomes cleaner but also colder, even in Summer.

The eastern Garda shore is dominated by the Scala family castle of Malcesine, built on top of a rocky promontory overlooking the lake. The castle is very well preserved and can be visited together with a tourist guide. In its rooms there are the displays of the Museum of Natural Science of Lake Garda and Mount Baldo. In summer, in its inner courtyard, it hosts concerts, music events and wedding ceremonies. Climbing on the tall keep you can admire one of the most stunning view over the blue Lake Garda surrounded by mountains and, below, the red roofs of the village of Malcesine. The narrow squares and streets, filled with shops, bars and picturesque restaurants have a magical charm. With more than a hundred hotels, rooms to let, villas and a dozen camping sites, Malcesine is one of the most elegant and well equipped holiday resorts on Lake Garda. The pleasant mild climate all year round permits walks and excursions in the hinterland.

From Malcesine you can also take the Mount Baldo rope way which will take you on top of the highest mountain of Verona province. Cables rotate so you can have a 360 degree panorama of Lake Garda and the surrounding mountains.
