They PACKED the lift, even with essentially no wait at this time of year (May). It's a quick trip…read moreup, with restrooms, seating, and food options at the top. The best part was watching the paragliders take off over the lake below. Not sure if it was worth the 25 euros, but great views depending upon cloud cooperation.

If you are lucky enough to visit Malcesine, you MUST ride the Funivia!…read more Well, I suppose having great weather with clear skies can also be an important factor... but I couldn't imagine visiting Malcesine without riding this tram ride up to the top of Mount Baldo. We went in February, when the snow-capped Dolomites are spectaculuar!! My only reqret is that we didn't plan better for this - - it would have been amazing to actually go skiing or snowboarding once we got to the top. But the price for two round-trip was 24EUR. The total length in time to get to the top is 20min. You actually take two different trams. One to the first stop - - and then a 2nd. The reason for the stop is because the line pivots a bit; it would be impossible to take a straight line up to the top. At the first stop, you wait approx 3-5 minutes for the next tram. Inside this small waiting area there's a really good "push-button" espresso machine - -super yummy caffe macchiato for only .70! (highly recommend) :) -- although sadly i bet the Italians think it's probably like "push-button cappuccinos" at american gas stations - ha!) I dunno.. i liked it! It was cute! So the next tram ride up, the car is 360 degrees circular - - pretty cool! And it stops at the top where there is a small restaurant, small shop, and restrooms. Clean tram ride - - friendly employees who we were able to speak some Italian and English with. This ride was a highlight of our trip - -amazing, amazing views of Lago di Garda; This is a MUST for all Lago di Garda visitors!
