Lake Como

Italy

Europe$$$ trip

The northern tip of Lake Como around Colico — the Alto Lario — is Lombardy's kitesurfing hub. The thermal Breva builds from the south almost every warm afternoon, funnelled between the mountains onto wide launch areas at Colico and Gera Lario, while mornings can bring the northerly Tivano. Flat water close to shore, alpine scenery, and easy access from Milan make it a favourite weekend spot with a well-developed school scene.

Lake Garda

Europe$$$ trip

Lake Garda is Europe's most reliable thermal-wind arena, framed by dramatic alpine cliffs at its northern end. The Peler blows strong from the north in the early morning and the Ora kicks in from the south every afternoon, giving two wind windows a day from spring to autumn. Torbole, Malcesine and Campione are the classic launch zones, with flat-to-choppy water, mandatory boat-assisted etiquette in places, and a huge sailing and mountain-sport culture on shore.
