The Monte Baldo Group is a mountain massif between the Val d'Adige and the eastern bank of Lake Garda. Its rich and varied vegetation includes also some botanic rarities. The uniqueness of the flora is the result of the last glaciation when the Monte Baldo was a so-called "nunatak", an Inuit word describing a completely isolated mountain peak overlooking the ice cap. The nature reserve riserva botanica di Bes-Corna Piana near Monte Baldo, was opened in 1972.
The main peaks of the Monte Baldo massif include Monte Altissimo di Nago, the Cima del Longino, the Cima delle Pozzette, the Cima Valdritta and the Punta Telegrafo.
The Monte Baldo Group is a well-known destination for sports lovers, inlcuding mountainbikers, paragliders and hikers. It also offers stunning panoramic views and is therefore referred to as the "most beautiful terrace of Lake Garda". The view from here ranges from the lake to the Prealpi Venete, the Dolomites and the Pianura Padana (Padana Plain).
