Watersports On The Italian Lakes

Watersports on the Italian Lakes

 

If you have a penchant for watersports and base your summer holidays around just that, you don’t

have to head for the beach club resorts to satisfy your love for the outdoors. With a plethora of

watersports available on the lakes of Europe, you are bound to enjoy Italian lakes holidays and all the

fun that can be had on them.

 

With both Lake Garda and Lake Como offering some fantastic watersports holidays, you can take

your pick of which one to head for. Lake Garda is almost the crème de la crème for watersports

enthusiasts in the area, while Lake Como is a lot more relaxed. Similarly, the neighbouring Lake

Maggiore is also equipped for water based thrills.

 

Windsurfing/Kitesurfing

 

The northern tip of Lake Como provides the best conditions for many of the watersports that require

ideal winds. Domaso and Dervio provide tuition and equipment for windsurfing and kitesurfing,

while the wind conditions and the vast expanse of lake means that you can utilise the space to your

advantage.

 

Torbole in the north of Lake Garda is ideal for windsurfing, which is rife on the lake.

 

Wakeboarding

 

The Lake Como resort of Bellagio is excellent for thrillseekers, offering wakeboarding to all those who

fancy an adrenaline rush.

 

Diving

 

As one of the deepest lakes in Europe, Lake Como would be ideal for those who want to explore it.

There are plenty of diving courses available at a myriad of the waterfront resorts.

 

Diving is also available on Lake Garda, as well as snorkelling for those who wish to stay closer to the

surface.

 

Jetskiing/Waterskiing

 

These are available in certain areas of Lake Garda where windsurfers don’t overtake the expanse of

water. Head for the calm waters of the south of the lake if jetskiing is your thing.
