Behind Malcesine on Lake Garda, Italy, rises the 2,218 m (7,277 ft) high Monte Baldo. A two-stage cable car ride, the second leg using one with rotating cabins, takes passengers to 1,750 m (5,741 ft) above sea level. From there the highest point can be accessed by walking a few kilometres to the south along the ridge.
