Why Visit?
Lake Como is a beautiful lake in the Italian Alps about 50 km North of Milano. Immerse yourself in the untouched beauty of nature, captivated by the extraordinary charm of quaint villages inspired by this remarkable land’s rich culture and traditions, and embark on thrilling outdoor adventures. Lake Como has been a beloved romantic destination for renowned poets such as Stendhal and Mark Twain and a residence for numerous celebrities, including Madonna, George Clooney, Gianni Versace, Ronaldinho, and Sylvester Stallone.

Lake Como, also known as Lario, is the third largest among the Italian lakes (after Garda Lake and Maggiore Lake) and boasts one of Europe’s greatest depths with a maximum depth of approximately 410 meters. Its distinctive shape, resembling an inverted Y, was shaped through centuries by the melting glaciers. For avid hikers, Lake Como features an abundance of natural trails. Surrounded by rolling hills and soaring mountains, it provides ample opportunities for hiking and trekking adventures catering to different difficulty levels. You may stumble upon charming refuges or rustic inns where you can savour delectable traditional cuisine.

Lake Como’s special conditions make it a paradise for water sports enthusiasts, from sailing and windsurfing to kitesurfing! Lake Como’s microclimate weather system assures a nearly daily wind during the summer months.

WIND and WEATHER
The windy months to go kitesurfing in Lake Como are April, May, June, July, August, September, and October.
The weather in Lake Como is very similar to the Mediterranean climate, but its alpine location and proximity to the lake possess a unique microclimate. This unusual weather system fosters diverse trees, including palm trees, which one wouldn’t expect to find in a mountainous area.
In the summer, the weather is excellent even for kitesurfing, just in a short wetsuit, yet from May until mid-July, and in September, we recommend wearing a long wetsuit for comfort. The water temperatures can reach an average of 24 °C during July and August.

Lake Como provides an ideal kiting experience thanks to the consistent thermal winds that create excellent conditions from April to October. The lake experiences four significant winds!
What Do Kitesurf Lessons Look Like on Lake Como?
The kitesurfing schools on Lake Como begin their lessons directly on the water by launching the kites from a boat in the middle of the lake. The thermal wind (Breva) is ideal for beginners and is typically strongest at Dervio and Cremia due to the venturi effect caused by the narrowing of the lake.

Teaching from a boat ensures maximal safety and an endless playground for the kitesurfing students on Lake Como. They first practice body dragging, board recovery, and finally, water starts, riding, and tricks with the help of the instructor. The best thing in a kitesurf lesson from a boat is that the walking-upwind-on-the-beach – part is completely missing. The boat lessons on Lake Como allow the student to have a 10 km downwind area and endless practice space.
From the many kite school options, we recommend the top-rated Epic Gust kitecoaching. They offer semi-private and private lessons, even wingfoil lessons, with radio assistance to provide the highest quality instruction. This approach allows the student to fly a kite uninterrupted during the session; hence, kitesurfing students on Lake Como can reach riding level on the first day. After the session, enjoy the evening at the Kite Bar with fellow kiters!

NO WIND

If you run into a windless period then you can go for a chilled SUP or kayak around the lake, go hiking or mountain biking in the Como Lake mountains on world class trails.
