# Colico Kite Beach

Kitesurfing spot in Lake Como, Italy.

> Colico Kite Beach is the primary kite launch of Alto Lario at the lake's northern end, where afternoon Breva thermals deliver reliable wind. The grassy rigging area provides comfortable setup space, and the established presence of schools with rescue boats ensures organized infrastructure. Conditions are typically moderate, making this suitable for intermediate riders and students. Afternoons are consistently better than mornings. The lakeside setting offers Italian charm, with towns and restaurants nearby, though wind strength can be erratic due to the mountain-funnelled geography.
