Geographical notes
Monte Baldo is characterized by a remarkable geographical individuality. It consists of a ridge parallel to the Lake Garda which stretches for 40 km, between the lake to the west and the Vallagarina at East. To the south the ridge is bounded by the plain of Goat cheese and north from Loppio valley. Mount Baldo reaches its maximum height at 2218 m at the top of Valdritta, and its minimum height at 65 m on Lake Garda.
Flora and fauna
Monte Baldo is also called the garden of Europe because of the great floristic heritage. Thanks to its very varied morphological characteristics it has various climatic zones, in particular there are the Mediterranean belt (up to 700 m), the mountain belt (from 700 m to 1500 m), the boreal belt (from 1500 m to 2000 m) and the Alpine belt (from 2000 m). Each of these bands has a diversified vegetation.
The Monte Baldo massif is characterized by a great variety of wildlife, due to the presence of man, however, the great variety is not supported by the quantity of individuals per single species.

At 1000 m the average temperature is 9 ° C, and at 2000 m it drops to 2 ° C.
