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.
