The Lake and the Sports
The Lake of Como and in particular the north lake is renowned
in all of Europe as an excellent sailing area and not only: this
is the most windy area of the lake and the most unspoilt; from
March to October, the Breva, a common temperate breeze of the Lake
of Como, blows during the afternoons, guaranteeing uttermost
enjoyment to those who practise sports such as sailing,
windsurfing or new extreme sports such as Kitesurfing. When the
lake is calm (morning and early evening), it is also possible to
go water-skiing and canoeing.
In northern lake there are many famous sailing club, almost
all the villages have a sailing base. It is easy to find a place
where practise this sport.
All the club have courses for beginners for april to october.
In sommer it is easy to see in northern lake the champion Paul
Cayard or Torben Grael, who are often here to sail in the
international championship organized on the lake. It is also
possible to cruise with bigger boats.
In “Alto Lario” the lake
has to be lived!
Unique on Lake Como, the beaches are ample, sandy, gently
sloping into the crystal-clear water that permits safe bathing at
all ages and the practice of various water sports. The “Breva”, a
mild constant breeze is ideal for sailing activities.
