Malcesine & Monte Baldo, Lake Garda (Lago di Garda / Gardasee, Italy)
Whilst on holiday in Lake Garda / Lago di Garda/ Gardasee, we drove to the little town of Malcesine to explore the lakeside and walk through its picturesque streets. After stopping by for an obligatory gelato ice cream at Cento per Cento (delicious!), we headed for the cable car / funicular station (Funivia), to see the view from Monte Baldo aka Mount Baldo; a little mountain nearby that has great views over the whole lake and surrounding green Italian mountainous countryside / mountainside.
I hope you enjoy seeing this little snippet from our holidays to Lake Garda!

LAKE GARDA - MALCESINE
MALCESINE IS PERHAPS THE DESTINATION THE TOURISTS MOST APPRECIATE ON LAKE GARDA! WHERE VACATION MEANS RELAXATION, SUN, BEACH, BUT ALSO SPORTS, EXCURSIONS, VISITS, GOOD FOOD, SHOPPING, WALKS ... IN SHORT: A ALL ROUND HOLIDAY!
THE OLD TOWN OF MALCESINE HAS PRESERVED THE ASPECT OF AN ANCIENT MEDIEVAL VILLAGE, WITH NARROW STREETS, SMALL SQUARES, OLD HOUSES AND BEAUTIFUL VIEWS.
IN RECENT DECADES MALCESINE HAS EXPERIENCED A DEEP TRANSFORMATION IN ITS TOURIST INCLINATION, AND FROM A SMALL MEDIEVAL VILLAGE IT HAS BECOME A VERY POPULAR TOURIST CENTRE, WITH DOZENS OF SOLD OUT HOTELS, OVER 220,000 TOURISTS WHO CHOOSE MALCESINE AS THE DESTINATION FOR THEIR HOLIDAYS.
GOETHE WROTE ABOUT MALCESINE IN HIS ITALIAN JOURNEY AND SKETCHED SOME DRAWINGS THAT ARE NOW KEPT IN THE MUSEUM OF THE CASTLE, KLIMT PAINTED IT. AND NOW I WANT TO TELL YOU ABOUT MALCSINE
THE CASTLE OF MALCESINE
THE MEDIEVAL CASTLE OF MALCESINE WAS DECLARED A NATIONAL MONUMENT IN 1902. IT BECAME POPULAR THANKS TO THE DRAWINGS AND THE WORKS BY THE GERMAN WRITER GOETHE DURING HIS JOURNEY TO ITALY, IN THE EARLY NINETEENTH CENTURY, WORKS THAT ARE NOW PRESERVED IN THE MUSEUM DEDICATED TO HIM. IN SOME OTHER ROOMS OF THE CASTLE THE MUSEUM OF NATURAL HISTORY OF GARDA AND MOUNT BALDO HAS BEEN SET UP.
IN RECENT YEARS MANY COUPLES HAS COME TO THE CASTLE OF MALCESINE TO GET MARRIED! THIS PLACE IS SO MAGIC, AND PEOPLE ARE READY TO WAIT MONTHS IN ORDER TO GET MARRIED RIGHT HERE!
FROM THE HIGHEST TOWER OF THE CASTLE OF MALCESINE THE VIEW IS FANTASTIC! FROM THERE YOU CAN SEE THE PANORAMA OF THE NORTHERN AREA OF LAKE GARDA, THE MOUNTAINS OF TRENTINO, AND YOU CAN REALIZE IT’S A WONDERFUL AREA IF YOU LIKE WATER SPORTS. ALL AROUND THE VIEW EMBRACE LOMBARDY, THE TRIMELONE ISLAND, THE DREAM ISLAND AND… THIS IS TRULY A MAGICAL PLACE!
THE LAKESIDE PROMENADE OF MALCESINE
JUST SOUTH OF THE PORT OF MALCESINE STARTS A BEAUTIFUL LAKESIDE PROMENADE, WHERE YOU CAN WALK OVER 1 MILE THROUGH BEAUTIFUL VILLAS, SMALL SHELTERED BEACHES, HOTELS AND CLUBS UP TO THE DREAM VALLEY, A SPLENDID BAY WITH A BREATHTAKING VIEW, CALM AND CLEAR WATERS , AND LOTS OF BARS, RESTAURANTS, PIZZERIAS AND HOTELS. CLOSE TO THE DREAM VALLEY IS THE OLIVE ISLAND, REALLY POPULAR AMONG SCUBA DIVERS WHO CAN EXPLORE A SMALL CAVE RICH IN LAKE FLORA AND FAUNA. ANOTHER ISLAND, THE DREAM ISLAND IS BEAUTIFUL AND EVOCATIVE, YOU CAN REACH IT BY FOOT WHEN THE LEVEL OF LAKE GARDA IS LOW AND TURNS IT INTO A PENINSULA.
CASSONE DI MALCESINE
THE BEAUTIFUL LAKEFRONT OF MALCESINE LEADS THE HAMLET OF CASSONE DI MALCESINE, A UNIQUE SPOT ON LAKE GARDA WHERE YOU WOULD NEVER EXPECT TO FIND THE SHORTEST RIVER IN THE WORLD, THE ARIL RIVER, THAT GUSHES FROM THE MOUNTAIN BEHIND CASSONE AND AFTER ONLY 200 YARDS FLOWS INTO A SMALL WATERFALL AND INTO LAKE GARDA, RIGHT BEHIND THE MUSEUM OF THE LAKE. THE MUSEUM OF THE LAKE IS LOCATED BETWEEN THE SMALL HARBOUR OF CASSONE DI MALCESINE AND THE MOUTH OF THE ARIL RIVER. INSIDE ARE DISPLAYED THE TOOLS USED FOR FISHING AND THE EVERYDAY LIFE OBJECTS OF THE PAST OF MALCESINE.
MOUNT BALDO
MOUNT BALDO IS THE MOUNTAIN THAT DOMINATES LAKE GARDA! THE PEAK IS 7000 FEET ABOVE SEA LEVEL, AND THE SLOPE FALLS DOWN INTO THE LAKE. THE DIFFERENCE IN ALTITUDE IS CONSIDERABLE! AND THEREFORE THERE ARE DIFFERENT CLIMATES AND DIFFERENT VEGETATION; THE UPPER PART OF MOUNT BALDO IS PERFECT FOR WINTER SPORTS: SKI, SNOWBOARD AND SO ON. BUT YOU CAN ENJOY THE MOUNTAIN ALSO IN SUMMER. IN THIS VIDEO I SHOW YOU A COUPLE OF REALLY INTERESTING THINGS: THE SANCTUARY OF MADONNA DELLA CORONA AND A FLIGHT WITH A PARAGLIDING!
MADONNA DELLA CORONA
THE SANCTUARY OF MADONNA DELLA CORONA IS A MAGICAL PLACE, A PEACEFUL SPOT HANGING BETWEEN HEAVEN AND EARTH, SHIELDED IN THE HEART OF MONTE BALDO. WE ARE IN SPIAZZI, AN ENCHANTING PLACE WHERE YOU CAN FULLY ENJOY NATURE, CLUNG TO THE MOUNTAIN OVERLOOKING THE VALLEY OF THE ADIGE RIVER. LITERALLY CLUNG! BECAUSE SOME WALLS OF THE SANCTUARY ARE ACTUALLY THE SIDE OF THE MOUNTAIN ITSELF! INDEED THIS IS NOT JUST A SANCTUARY OVERHANGING THE MOUNTAIN, IT’S BUILT INSIDE THE MOUNTAIN!
PARAGLIDING IN MALCESINE
WITH THE CABLE CAR OF MOUNT BALDO FROM MALCESINE IN JUST FEW MINUTES YOU CAN REACH THE TOP OF THE MOUNTAIN. I HAD AN AMAZING FLIGHT WITH AN INSTRUCTOR TO DISCOVER LAKE GARDA FROM A DIFFERENT POINT OF VIEW…. A REALLY HIGH POINT OF VIEW! 30 MINUTES OF REAL ADRENALINE AND PEACE WHILE ADMIRING AN INCREDIBLE VIEW OVER LAKE GARDA!

Holiday Scenic Views from Cable Car ride up Mount Baldo in Malcesine Lake Garda Italy
Views from the Cable car up to the top of Monte Baldo
What is on top of Monte Baldo? We are! Walking in Malcesine Lake Garda Italy.
Cable car from Malcesine to the top of Monte Baldo and a walk along the Tratto Spino.
-------------------------
Our holiday in Lake Garda, takes us on a nice walk to the top of the highest peak in the area...But we are lazy, and don't want to walk from the lake all the way to the top. We would be too tired to enjoy the view :)
Lucky for us, there is a lovely cable car that takes you right to the top (well, very close to the summit).
Our walk takes us about 6km, from the cable car station, along the north western side of the ridge. then around the point , and back up along the spine of the ridge.

MALCESINE - MONTE BALDO CABLEWAY
For a spectacular view over Lake Garda there is nothing to beat a ride on the Malcesine cableway, which rises to 1600 m in just ten minutes and reaches an altitude of 1760 m at the top of Monte Baldo.
On a clear day you can see the whole of the lake, from Riva to Peschiera del Garda: a breathtaking panorama! The Malcesine cable car is unique in the world: on the upper section the cabin slowly rotates offering a view of 360° and the sensation of flying...
In winter the Monte Baldo slopes host a vibrant ski season of sport and entertainment against the backdrop of Lake Garda: a really unforgettable experience!
