It lies between the provinces of Trento and Verona and is easily reached by a cable car that departs from Malcesine.
In winter, the Monte Baldo can be the perfect location for a scenic snowshoe hike. Whether it is in the daytime, at dusk or under the moonlight, snowshoeing on Mount Baldo is an experience not to be missed, especially for the dreamy views and the unspoiled nature that characterizes the area.
