BELLA ITALIA – KITESURFING AT GARDA LAKE
The Garda Lake is one of my favourite kite spots. A few years ago I had my first kite sessions there and until today I consistently go there for a weekend trip from munich. Kitesurfing at the Garda Lake is not only that special because of its amazing scenery, I’m convinced there’re just a few kitespot in europe with such a high probabilty for constant wind and other benefits. The thermal lift between the alps an the “Po”-region is responsible for regular daily upcoming wind. In the morning the “Vento” is strongly blowing from the north of the lake, in the afternoon we have a constantly but lighter wind from the south. Basically there are only two spots where you can start and land your kite from the lakeside – Campione and Navene. I recommend: Avoid these places and go out by boat with a kite school. The sheer rock walls near campione don’t allow you to end your session easily.
The kite season starts in may and ends in the beginning of october.
YOUR EXPERT
STATEMENT
Great kite spot for every preference. Especially teaching with the boat in deep water is ideal for beginners. There’s so much space!!
JOURNEY
The best is travelling by car. But there are also lifts from the south of Germany/ Austria / Switzerland to the Garda Lake.
ACCOMMODATION
Around Malcesine are numerous appartments, hotels or camping sites. Inform yourself at the local kite school – they give you the best recommandations.
ALTERNATIVES
The Garda Lake is not only know because of its high probability for wind. Mountain biking, climbing, sailing or a trip to Verona are highly recommended.
