Kitesurfing in Campione del Garda

Lake Garda's most loved spot for kitesurfing and wingfoiling

The Kite Paradise

Campione del Garda is recognised as one of the windiest and most reliable kitesurfing spots in Europe. Thanks to the lake’s particular geographical setting and the surrounding mountains, the wind blows practically almost every day of the year, creating ideal conditions for the sport.

In the morning conditions bring more developed waves, while in the afternoon there may be waves but the lake is generally calmer. This variety makes Campione the perfect destination both for those learning and for the most experienced riders.
