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 windsurfing 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 windsurfing, 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 windsurf experience thanks to the consistent thermal winds that create excellent conditions from April to October. The lake experiences four significant winds!
