MONTE BALDO

Monte Baldo owes its fame not only to the wealth of its nature and the singularity and variety of its flora, it is also of interest from an antropic point of view, as there are many remnants bearing witness to its past history.
Forming a long ridge it separates the Adige Valley (Val Lagarina) from Lake Garda. This chain splits up to into a succession of peaks at an average height of 2000 to 2200 metres (Cima Valdritta), giving it a crested appearance.
In the course of time various climatic changes occured , thus allowing different species of plants to establish themselves only here.
This is the reason why, many botanists in the last century, discovered some unknown species ( approx. 20) called "Baldensis" as part of their name ( Anemone Baldensis, Galium Baldense, etc).
Mount Baldo ist also known as "Hortus Europa" ( Garden of Europe).
From the large territory of Brenzone, you can enjoy a lot of walks and footpaths from the coast up the the highest peaks.
From Costabella in Prada( 1000 m) you can also get sky-lift facilities and reach the various mountain refuges.
