Hoping to arrive in the cable car queue for the top of Monte Baldo before the crowds, we left the apartment at 8.30 am. Not early enough we realised as we stood in the line for nearly two hours (I wondered if it was going to match our wait to see David in Florence, but it didn’t).
The wait was worth it though. The second cable car revolved 360 degrees on the way up which meant that everyone could enjoy the spectacular views of the lake below.
After a picnic enjoying the vista of mountain peaks, we took our time over a cappuccino at the restaurant and even enjoyed sitting in the sun! (It has been too hot to do that since we were in Bologna).
There are two people attached to each glider – an instructor and a novice.
We enjoyed watching the paragliders take off and ascend, and then took a short walk and were surprised to see alpacas out for a stroll as well. It seems you can rent them for just 8 euros which doesn’t seem bad. Mark wants to know what the alpacas’ cut is.

I have fond memories of staying in Brenzone a couple of times. The cable car view is spectacular?

Yes, it’s worth making the trip up once. We’re thinking of heading that way again tomorrow, but may park higher up and get the cable car from the middle station.
