The Veneto is a varied landscape, which in the north is dominated by majestic mountains and towards the south by the flatter landscape which is prevalent in the coastal areas.
Close to the towns of Verona, Vicenza, Treviso and Padova you find soft green hills and a landscape covered with beautiful vineyards.
The mountains are an experience in themselves. High peaks, waterfalls, beautiful forest areas and everything you could possibly hope for from the natural world. Among others you can climbe Monte Baldo, the most western mountain of the Venetian Pre-Alps. Thanks to its peculiar position, Mount Baldo is considered as the "terrace on the Garda Lake"; in fact, there are many spots from where you can enjoy wonderful views, the highest of which is the Valdritta peak, at 2,218 metres. Lazier tourists can reach the Baldo peak in total comfort using the Malcesine-Monte Baldo cableway, with rotating cabins allowing a 360°C view of the surroundings, including the Garda Lake, of course.
Monte Baldo is the perfect summer destination for beutifull walks in an environment of considerable geological and naturalistic interest. The mountain is also sought-after by sport enthusiasts, as many activities can be performed here in close contact with nature: mountain bike, horse riding and hiking, but also hang gliding and paragliding for the lovers of the flying experience.
Lake Garda is also a wonderful natural environment, as well as being Italy's biggest lake. Surrounded by mountains and green areas there are opportunities to experience the magnificent scenery regardless of where you are on Lake Garda.
