Elegantly nestled against a backdrop of majestic castles, Malcesine is a magical place with unforgettable views. This charming town on the eastern shore of Lake Garda has inspired celebrities such as Goethe, who stayed here during his time in Italy. The medieval allies leading to the Scaliger Castle, the lakeside promenade lined with restaurants and shops, and the atmosphere of Malcesine continue to attract thousands of tourists who choose this place as their holiday destination. The Scaliger Castle’s striking towers seem to rise from the rock buttresses and have a very ancient origin. It is a Lombard settlement built by the Scaliger family, and today the castle has been transformed into an interesting natural history museum, specializing in displaying specimens of flora and fauna from the Lake Garda region and Mount Baldo. If you wish to admire breathtaking scenery, you can take a very modern cable car. From the panoramic cable car, you can see the sudden transition from the Mediterranean plant community’s olive groves to the mountain plant community. In winter, ski slopes of varying difficulty allow skiing down the slopes accompanied by the magnificent view of the blue lake, and in summer, Malcesine Bay is filled with colorful sailboats, kitesurfing, and windsurfing, while on land, there are vibrant hikers and mountain bikers. Open all year round, with full-day access, the specific business status is subject to the day’s opening conditions.
