Everything opens with an evocative preview evening on Friday, September 25: a “dinner at altitude” scheduled at 7 pm at the inn Baita dei Forti, situated at the arrival station of the cableway Malcesine-Monte Baldo, where you can eat enjoying a breathtaking view of Lake Garda. The tickets cost 45 Euros (all 19 stages) or 85 Euros (the route + dinner at altitude).
