Kitesurf

Malcesine, Brenzone and Campione are the areas most noted to embark for an adventure with kitesurf!

Below some of our suggestions of beaches that will excite the sport lovers:

The strong point of Campagnola is certainly the space that allows kiters to easily move around and fully enjoy the day. It is also a safe space thanks to multiple points for landing in case of problems. Remember, however, that it is allowed to leave from here only in the presence of strong winds from the north, so as not to disturb the bathers present on the beach on calm days.

Navene proposes a beach built and equipped by the Kitesurfing Club Malcesine (therefore club membership is required). Here too, it is possible to arm more kites, but the launch must take place one person at a time. It is possible to land with downwind in the two bays below the area, then you will encounter a long stretch where the rocks end up over the lake. In case of emergency, a recovery service is available with a fee.

Assenza is the beach of “salvataggio” (savior) when the wind from the north is too strong. Here in fact, it tends to lose intensity and stabilize.

SUP

Stand Up Paddling, better known as SUP, has very far-away origins and in recent years has made a big comeback. It combines a surfboard and one paddles on foot.

The rapid diffusion of this sport is due to the quickness of learning: Sup is in fact a sport, easy, autonomous, rewarding … and a lot of fun. It is also possible to practice it all year round.

Lift Service

The lift is a service that is very comfortable and required both for beginners and experts. Club Hotel Olivi has a special partnership with Sportcamp Stickl, located inside the hotel, which will be able to give you support through the support boats that you will follow during the evolutions and will take you back to the ground at the end of the exit.
