Malcesine
Malcesine is one of the loveliest areas along the upper eastern shore of Lake Garda. It's principally known as a summer resort, with sailing and windsurfing schools. It tends to be crowded in season, but there are nice walks from the town toward the mountains. In winter, six lifts and more than 11 km (7 miles) of runs of varying degrees of difficulty serve skiers.
