A view from Monte Baldo looking down over Lake Garda. You can reach the top via cable car from Malcescine where we were staying. Spectacular views even though it was a bit hazy.
Perfect place for the wind gliders to take off. Not sure if that's the right name for them. They ran down the hill and then jumped off the Ledge.
They have a seat to wriggle onto once they are airborne.
The good old Monte Baldo, we have been up there so many times and have seen tourists in little T-shirts going up and didn't expect the cold temperatures and sometimes snow up there ! Alpacas are new ! Good idea !
Australian businessmen brought alpacas from South America to be bred for their fine silken fleece. Made perfect sense to me. So now I wonder why Italians imported alpacas to the Lake Garda region.
What lovely experiences - watching the paragliders and walking an alpaca. I't's breathtaking to be up so high.

ReplyDeleteI love the mist hanging around in places. It all looks quite idyllic.
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful looking place. We plan to have our first trip to Italy next year.

Beautiful scenery . Those paragliders are so brave.
ReplyDeleteI once stood on the platform from which the paragliders take off - I'm trembling now just thinking about it! Cable cars are fun though.

We saw lots of those paragliders in Switzerland. Many of them were tandem with an experienced person and novice.
