From Malcesine to Mount Baldo at 1760m of altitude by the rotating cable car of Lake Garda
It is located in Malcesine, on Lake Garda, it is open ten months a year and closes for maintenance before Easter and at the end of the summer season, usually in November.
The ascent to Monte Baldo with the cable car is very attractive thanks to the cabin of the second stretch which turns 360 degrees during the ride. The landscape seen from the cabin is just amazing.

Bike rides with the cable car
The rides for the bikes from Malcesine to San Michele are possible all year round while from San Michele to the top of Monte Baldo are related to the opening of the Provincial road of Baldo which, due to snow, is closed during winter.

On the ticket you can find the time of your ride and if you can’t be there on time you can catch the next ride if there is a free place.
The ticket is valid just for a single ride and can’t be bought on previous days. Normally we suggest that you get your ticket early in the morning to make sure you catch the ride you are interested in.

How to get and where the cable car stations are located
The station at the bottom in Malcesine
Is in Navene Vecchia road.
- Coming from north: turn left at the first small roundabout. The station is on your right at the top of the short ascent.
- Coming from south: turn right at the second, smaller, roundabout. The station is on your right at the top of the short ascent.
The middle station of San Michele
It is located in San Michele at about 580 meters of height.
Once in Malcesine take the Panoramica road (both from north or south) and when you arrive at the Campiano pass, before going downhill again, turn right uphill if you come from south, or left if you come from north. Keep going up for about 2 km on the wider road until you reach the cable car station.

You can reach it both by foot or bike (only from eastern side and if you are well trained), or by cable car.

It is not covered, with some free places you can find next to the station, on the east side. Just before the station, on the last uphill, on the left, there is another parking lot but it isn’t free.
