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.
The Winds of Garda
Lake Garda’s thermal cycle guarantees a north wind in the morning and a south wind in the afternoon, allowing kite sessions practically all day long.
