Lake Garda is definitely your
place, if you like sporting activities. Sports
such as windsurfing, sailing, swimming, canoeing and sky diving have a long
tradition on Lake Garda. The mountains that frame Garda, in the northern
part, also offer several sports opportunities, from hiking to biking across
dozens of routes with different difficulty levels. Here, even those who
prefer extreme sports can practice canyoning, rafting, climbing and
paragliding. More traditional sports facilities for tennis, basketball,
football, horse-riding are available anywhere around the lake. Windsurfing: The northern area of the lake delimited
by Torbole, Malcesine and Limone is well known as one of
the European capitals of this sport, attracting a growing number of
windsurfers and where important competitions and championships take place; a
little bit souther, in 'Campione' by Tremosine and 'Prŕ de
la Fam' by Tignale you’ll also find exclusive spots. Either if you are a beginner or
an expert windsurfer you need to know that there are two kind of wind you can

or Riva, and the southern wind or “Pelčr”, very early in the
morning.

Kitesurfing: Kitesurfing started a few years
ago, is the sport of the moment. It was brought in Lake Garda by one of the

The true reign of free climbing, however, remains on the natural walls of Garda
Trentino: the multicoloured walls of Massone, the walls of Romarzollo,
the zebra-striped walls of Pietramurata and the routes of Mount
Daino (where you can climb practically all year round). Also in the south

championship in 2004. The northern lake also offers an
entire series of mountain bike excursions: on Monte Brione; on the
beautiful trail that leads to the small resort Campi, where until a
few years ago the daring Downhill bikers could take part in the famous "Adrenalina
Dangerous Downhill"; the marvellous single tracks on Monte Baldo
or Monte Stivo; or the more "peaceful" excursions in the
magnificent olive groves of Arco. In addition, there is Valle di Ledro (Ledro
