LAKE GARDA Newsletter - Water Sports at Lake Garda! March 08, 2011 |
| Hello! Our topic for you this month is geared toward all the watersport enthusiasts out there! Lake Garda is a paradise for water sports, be it waterskiing, jetskiing, kite-surfing, sailing, and of course, the extremely popular sport out there...windsurfing!
Let's briefly go over some of the watersports Lake Garda has to offer... Windsurfing: Probably the most popular watersport to do on the lake. It's generally done on the North part of the lake where the reliable winds are the best. It really is a windsurfer's paradise, and the towns there, particularly Torbole, really cater for the sport, offering equipment rentals and lessons. On our website, you can learn about all about the different winds on the lake, what equipment you can hire there, and you can even check out a great video on windsurfing at Lake Garda. Take a look at our page and find out all about windsurfing. Sailing: Another very popular sport at Lake Garda. Again, it's done mainly at the North of the lake; the towns of Riva and Torbole are known to be the most popular towns in connection with sailing, as there are lots of sailing competitions that go on at them throughout the summer. There's a sailing video, a list of what you can expect to see at a sailing center at Lake Garda, and more info about sailing.
Waterskiing and Jetskiing: These sports are enjoyed on the south end of the lake. The calm waters and abundance of space make ideal conditions for the sports! Find out more (like why they are resricted in certain areas) here. Kite-surfing: This is quite a new sport, but rapidly gaining popularity. It's amazing watching these surfers fly up into the air, do flips, and cruise along at high speeds across the water! We have some great photos of kite-surfers and lots more info! Scuba-diving and Snorkelling: Believe it or not, scuba-diving goes on at Lake Garda too, and you'll see snorkelling as well. We've got more info for you, including a list of Diving centers, on our page about diving.

This Month's Featured Hotel Every month we research and then feature a hotel or apartment at Lake Garda to give you an idea of the accommodation there. We always make sure the hotel has a guest rating of 8 or more (out of 10), so you know it's a decent place to stay! Set among a century-old park of cypresses, overlooking the beautiful Lake Garda, the 3-star serviced apartments Dimora Poggio Ulivo enjoy a splendid position on the Gardesana road, a few steps from Pai/Torri del Benaco, a charming town far from the hustle and bustle of the bigger city of Verona. The property offers direct access to the private beach of Lake Garda, to a nice swimming pool and a fabulous park. Therefore Dimora Poggio Ulivo is the ideal accommodation for a relaxing holiday in Italy, rich in art, culture and tradition and for exploring the wide offer of sporting facilities and enchanting landscapes of the Lake Garda area.
