Monte Baldo (Malcesine)

While heading further east towards Friuli and to meet Marco, I stopped at Malcesine on Lake Garda. Monte Baldo (1750m) is easily accessible by gondola from Malcesine. The launch area is HUGE and almost like a golf fairway: just short gras, hardly a bump, vitually no stones etc. and a magnificent view

TO, looking west over Lake Garda

This site is often used for SIV trainings; it's also a thermal site, but it turns on only in the afternoon (after1400).

LZ

The LZ (the only decent LZ along the lake!) needs getting used to, especially if the Bora (local south wind and what all the (kite-) surfers are witing for) is turning on in the afternoon...
