Sailing
Description
Not only is sailing the most popular and the oldest sport on Lake Garda, it also enjoys more competitions than any other. Regattas are part of the local area championships, but international competitions and even World Cups are also held. There are various sailing clubs, organizations and naval associations, as well as yacht clubs on all lake shores.
The location of Lake Garda and its surroundings make it an ideal environment for sports such as sailboat sailing, which – apart from water – also require specific weather conditions. On Lake Garda, people can practice this sport due the two Pelèr and Ora winds which blow in two opposite directions creating continuous air movement.
Lake Garda is the ideal regatta area for experienced sailors, but beginners also find optimal conditions and well-equipped sports centres to assist them in their adventure.
