Monte Baldo Cable Car
Funivia Malcesine-Monte Baldo
A rotating cable car rises from Malcesine to 1,760 metres, with views over the whole of Lake Garda. Hiking in summer and skiing in winter.
Monte Baldo is a long mountain ridge on the eastern shore of Lake Garda, known as the 'Garden of Europe' for its rich plant life. From Malcesine, a two-stage cable car takes you up. The cabin of the second stage rotates 360 degrees. The ride to the upper station, at about 1,760 metres, takes around 15 minutes and offers views over the whole lake and the mountains on the opposite shore. The summit has several hiking trails, paragliding take-off points and restaurants. In winter it becomes a ski area. A round-trip cable car ticket costs about €25. Queues are long in peak season, so book online and set off early. It is much colder at the top.
