WHY THIS HIKE

Monte Baldo Ridge Trek

Monte Baldo in autumn is pure magic: golden woods, crisp air, and Lake Garda sparkling below. Ready to experience it from four different peaks, all in one day?

Group chat a couple of days before
Come alone, leave with new friends

The experience

We start from the upper cable car station in Malcesine and climb along ridges overlooking both Garda and Val d'Adige. First stop: Cima Pozzette, then Cima del Longino, with the lake as a constant backdrop. The scenery shifts toward Cima Valdritta: a short equipped section tests you, but the summit rewards every step. The trail eases up to Cima Telegrafo, where Rifugio Telegrafo awaits for a well-deserved lunch stop, surrounded by warm autumn colors. We return along the same route, back to the Malcesine lift.

Why join us - Four peaks, one incredibly rewarding route - Views spanning from Lake Garda to Val d'Adige - Autumn foliage and golden afternoon light - A refuge break with breathtaking views

Join the Guidders: we take on this challenge together, ridge after ridge.
