The biggest number of kitesurf spots in the world

Located in nothern Italy, Lake Garda is the largest lake in Italy at a whopping 51 kilometres long and 17 wide, so there’s acres of space! The west side of the lake is windier and the lake’s ‘Mecca of Kitesurf’, Campione del Garda, sits in the north-west corner.

The Formula Kite World Championships were held there in 2019, for good reason; thanks to the imposing cliff overlooking the town of Campione, there’s a powerful funnel effect for the wind. It’s visually stunning and incredible for foiling as you can voyage for miles up- and downwind.

Kiting between these dramatic mountains in the morning and afternoon thermals is a unique experience. If you’re learning, lessons are very safe and all done from a boat, so you have all the space you could possibly need.
