Cycling and mountain biking routes

The best way to explore the diverse and varied landscape of Lake Garda is without a doubt on two wheels! The safe cycling trails bordering the Lake and which penetrate the neighbouring area are perfect for cyclists of all ages! Lake Garda offers different types of routes, really suitable for everyone: beginners, children, and bikers, but also experienced cyclists.

Sailing

Let’s put the sails up and set sail on an unforgettable trip on Lake Garda. A day of fun, relaxation and adventure, discovering the hidden corners of one of the most beautiful lakes in Italy, led by an experienced skipper. Garda has a long and consolidated sailing tradition and in the last fifty years its Clubs have been able to create the best Olympic class skippers. Wind conditions vary according to the area: light air at the bottom, cooler winds in the north of Gargnano towards Malcesine, Riva and Torbole. The Gardesan competitions, such as the Centomiglia and the Intervela are very famous regattas with a history of fifty years.

Windsurfing

Thanks to the constancy of the winds, Lake Garda is one of the best known places in Europe and the world. This is because the two main winds change intensity depending on the location. It means that each of you can find the ideal conditions depending on the level and discipline. Important competitions and numerous championships are organised especially in the high lake. And in this area there are several Circles reserved for solo surfers.
