You see the lake from above in the morning, eat with it in front of you and in the afternoon walk along the walkway hung from the rock on the far shore. Direct flights arrive in Verona from Madrid and Barcelona; if you land the day before, sleep in Verona or in the south of the lake and set out early. ## The day, hour by hour 8:00 · From Verona to Malcesine.

The Funivie del Baldo cabins climb in about 20 minutes to 1,760 m, rotating on themselves on the upper stretch. Buy online: €28 return. Up top, walk along the ridge and come down before midday, when clouds tend to form. 13:00 · Lunch at Vecchia Malcesine. A few minutes on foot, in the upper part of the village. Lake-fish cooking by chef Leandro Luppi, with one MICHELIN star and the lake in the picture window. It is an expensive lunch: the shortest menu, two dishes to choose, costs €100.

Return the same way. 18:30 · Return. Boat to Malcesine and car to Verona. ## Cómo llegar ### By car It is the practical way: from Verona to Malcesine along the east shore, about 74 minutes. In summer, leave early, because the road gets jammed and the cable car's car park fills up. ### Without a car Difficult in a day from Verona. Better to sleep in the north of the lake, for example in Torbole, and get around by boat between Torbole, Malcesine and Limone. ## Consejos ### Buy the cable car online You save €2 per adult and the ticket-office queue. ### Check the last boat Outside July and August the return boats finish early. ### In bad weather If it blows hard or there is fog up top, swap Baldo for the Varone waterfall, near Riva. ## Preguntas frecuentes ### Can it be done in November? No: the cable car closes from 2 November to 25 December and the scheduled boats stop in winter. ### How much does the day cost? Cable car €28, boat €15 return, and lunch, from €100 at Vecchia Malcesine or much less in the village. ### Is it suitable with children? Yes. Children under 1.20 m go up the cable car free, children aged 4 to 11 pay less on the boat and the walkway is flat.
