Watersports on Lake Garda: Where to go and what to try

Lake Garda’s the place to be for watersports, whether you’re trying something new or already in your element on the water. It’s big enough that conditions shift between north and south, with wind playing a major part in shaping your experience – so the best place to base yourself depends on what watersports you fancy doing. Windier spots like Riva and Malcesine in the north suit higher-energy sports like windsurfing and sailing, while calmer areas like Bardolino and Sirmione in the south are better for paddle-boarding and swimming.

So, ready to take to the lake? Here’s our round-up of the best watersports on Italy’s largest lake, plus where to stay to try them.
