Monte Baldo Cable Car

On our way to Modena we stopped halfway around Lake Garda to take the cable car up to Monte Baldo which is 2,200m. Unfortunately the fog and clouds refused to clear so we came away disappointed. We did see some mountain orchids that the area is famous for.
I had some Apple Strudel, I guess being so close to Switzerland that it is part of the cuisine here as well.
Neil actually found it quite difficult to breathe up that high, wouldn’t want to do too much strenuous exercise.
A lot of people were setting off tramping and mountain biking from the top of this mountain. It is a ski field in the winter.
I have put one photo up of a chap mowing his grass by hand halfway up the mountain on an incredibly steep slope - kudos to him.
There was a pen of Alpacas that people could take for walk along a track 🤨 not sure why you would want to but what do I know.
There was a paddock of cows with bells on.
They were paragliding down to the valley floor.
Pity there were no views 🤣Read more
