Thanks to its favourable location, Malcesine enjoys a mild and healthy climate which is propitious for pleasant walks through olive groves and lush Mediterranean vegetation as well as for hikes in the surrounding mountains.

From the shores of Lake Garda to the over 2,000-metre-high Monte Baldo, sports enthusiasts are really spoilt for choice. The list of most popular sports includes: sailing, waterskiing, windsurfing, kitesurfing, tennis, paragliding, mountain biking, Alpine skiing, and lots more.

A recently renovated cable car with revolving cabins takes you from Malcesine to the top of Monte Baldo, a mountain that has been nicknamed ‘Italy's botanical garden’ on account of the rare and protected botanical species that grow on its slopes. In winter, this cable car takes skiers to a ski resort equipped with a chairlift and four ski lifts and featuring ski runs of various levels of difficulty. Events

From April to October, the calendar of events offers sports enthusiasts, music lovers, and tourists with other interests plenty to choose from … During your stay at Lake Garda, you can rest assured that you will find events that will match your tastes.
