Always starting from Ferrara, follow the route eastwards towards various refuges: Baldo, Novezzina, Cedron, Novezza. The route is easy, and usually you get to the Ventrar peak in order to admire the Altissimo.Īn alternative peak to reach is Valdritta, the highest in the Baldo group (2218 metres), which can be reached via a path dug into the rock by the Alpine troops. To the south, on the other hand, you can tackle routes on Monte Baldo along a long ridge, about 2000 meters high, with peaks even higher between Valdritta and Punta Telegrafo (2200 on average).Īfter three minor peaks, the Baldo ridge begins to descend towards the crest of Naole, and arrives at the last southern hill, easily accessible with its 1023 metres: the Crocetta del Monte Creta.Īmong the many possible excursions on Monte Baldo, there are those towards the Altissimo di Nago, starting from the Bocca di Crer and following the military road. The first peak found in the northern part of Monte Baldo, for example, is the Altissimo di Nago at 2079 metres, separated from the mountain itself by a very wide saddle, the Bocca di Navene which we have seen which can be reached from Avio. It is advisable to orient yourself immediately, perhaps thanks to a map and the advice of an expert guide, on the territory and its paths, which are numerous and which allow you to reach even high altitudes, but with the correct equipment. If you arrive in Prada Alta, the path climbs up the Naole crest (about 1600 metres), up to the Fiori del Baldo and Chierego refuges – from here you can cross the mountain from the south. The path continues up to Ferrara del Baldo.Īnother route can start from this Ferrara, to climb up to 1250 meters towards the Novezzina and Cedron refuges from here a path winds its way to Punta Telegrafo alternatively, you can go further past the Cavallo a Novezza pass (about 1400 meters) and climb up to the Valdritta peak.

The path reaches the Altissimo di Nago, descends to the Bocca di Navene and can be climbed towards the Ventrar peak (about 1700 meters) and the Colma di Malcesine. You can find another starting point for the excursions starting from Avio, where an asphalted road starts that takes you to the Graziani refuge, at about 1600 meters above sea level, in the locality of Bocca del Crer (where the homonymous pass is located).

The most used access to reach the paths is usually the cable car from Malcesine, which arrives at the Colma di Malcesine (1750 meters high), a favorite place for crossing the Mount. The most beautiful or challenging trails can be found on Monte Baldo These are starting points for various uphill paths, up to the higher altitudes of the Baldo. From here you arrive at Ferrara di Monte Baldo (east area) or at Prada Alta (west area). From the North, the town of Avio, with a corresponding exit for those taking the Brennero motorway, can be reached from Lake Garda starting from Malcesine, from the South, taking the Affi motorway exit and arriving in Caprino Veronese. The access points most used to get to Monte Baldo are various, depending on where they come from. It is crossed by a climbing route where there are also several shelters at different heights. Monte Baldo can be reached from various points in the Garda or Veneto area, both by footpaths and by cable cars. Those who want to experience the beauties of the mountains, a few steps from the beaches of Garda, can think of an excursion to Monte Baldo, easily reachable from the Veronese shore, from the Veneto and Trentino territories. And that’s not all: there are many paths that have been followed for centuries on this mighty hill, which cross the limestone rocks, karst phenomena such as monoliths, sinkholes, basins and depressions in the ground, up to the most disturbing caves (the famous Tanella cave and the Bus de la Tacole with 172 depth). It has been a destination for excursions and tourism for centuries, even as early as the Renaissance it was considered a real botanical garden, due to the variety of vegetation present, with different climatic layers and flora: an incredible attraction for those who visit it.
