These spots in Lake Garda are known for wing foiling. Each has its own character and conditions.
The main windsurf and kite town at the north end. Morning Peler wind from the right, afternoon Ora from the left.
West shore. Known for strong Peler wind in the morning. Popular with early risers who want stronger conditions.
