Malcesine, between lake and mountain

  1. Home
  2. Territory

Located on the Veronese shore of Lake Garda, between crystal-clear waters and majestic mountains, the town of Malcesine combines the beauty of a historic village with the vitality of outdoor activities.


The town, dominated by the Scaligero Castle, offers paved streets, panoramic views and a lively atmosphere among cafés, shops and cultural points of interest.


It is precisely its privileged position, halfway between lake and mountain, that makes Malcesine an ideal destination in every season: sport, nature, landscapes and traditions coexist in balance, offering different but always authentic experiences.

MONTE BALDO AND CABLE CAR

The Malcesine–Monte Baldo Cable Car is one of the most iconic experiences of the area. It is open 10 months a year and in a 15-minute journey takes you from Malcesine to Tratto Spino, on Monte Baldo, at an altitude of 1760, offering breathtaking views over the lake and the surrounding mountains. The ride, fast but spectacular, is in itself a small journey between sky and water.


Once at altitude, Monte Baldo offers opportunities for all tastes and levels of experience

LOVERS OF ALPINE FLORA

IN A SHORT TIME, MALCESINE THEREFORE OFFERS EXPERIENCES THAT COMBINE LANDSCAPES, NATURE AND MOVEMENT, PERFECT FOR BOTH ADULTS AND CHILDREN.

LAKE GARDA

Lake Garda, the largest in Italy, is the beating heart of our territory and offers breathtaking scenery between crystal-clear waters and picturesque villages.


Malcesine, overlooking its eastern shores, offers a perfect balance between relaxation and activities, making the lake the ideal place for those who love spending time outdoors independently, with friends or with family.


In summer, Lake Garda comes alive with a wide range of opportunities:



  • Relax on the beaches: small areas of sand and pebbles where you can sunbathe or read a book, with the possibility to rent pedal boats, kayaks or SUP

  • Water sports: sailing, windsurfing and other activities for those who love challenges on the water and direct contact with the lake

  • Lakeside walks: panoramic routes among trees and historic villages, ideal for a slow and regenerating break

A STOP AT SPECK STUBE

And after a day spent among trails or along the lakeside, there is nothing better than stopping for a meal.


Speck Stube Malcesine, located just a few steps from the cable car, is the perfect place to recharge your energy, enjoy traditional cuisine and breathe in a bit of local atmosphere.
