Monte Baldo - Europe Garden

Famous as HORTUS EUROPAE the characteristics of this mountain are unique. The green (or white during the winter season) reflected in the largest Italian lake, offers a multitude of landscapes and natural activities that nowhere else are so rich. Its slopes are the perfect environment where different rare species of plants can grow form an incredible biodiversity.

The climate is so mild and due to this the summer last more and is still such a dream in low season having long walks on the crest of the mountain and among the many hiking trails. From the top the view is stunning, 360° on the lake and from Refuge Telegrafo – Barana  (directly over Brenzone at 7.930 ft altitude) it may be seen the famous lion of St. Mark's in Venice.

In Malcesine, 6 miles from our hotel, there is a cable car which takes 10 minutes from 292 feets above sea level to an altitude of almost 5.900 ft. The cabin of the second climb is rotating to allow a full view of the lake. For those prefer walk, directly from the Hotel is possible leave with flip flops and swimsuit and climb the 6.500 ft of altitude gap. Easily from the hamlet of Prada (3.281 ft) famous for Punta Veleno, start many path lasts few hours or entire journeys.

Until 8th October 2013 are organized hiking tours departing on Tuesdays from Magugnano. For more information do not hesitate to ask the reception of our Hotel Brenzone, there are plenty of secrets trails just waiting to be experienced!
