Most Breathtaking Sports Arena, Lake Garda, Italy In some of my extensive travels abroad I visited Lake Garda, a wonderful place in the north of Italy. Lake Garda was formed when the glaciers of the alpine ridge went back due to global warming and left one of the most fantastic outdoor sports arenas in its northern part including surfing, sailing, mountain biking, climbing, paragliding, horsebackriding and golfing.

The winds are fantastic and thermic, typically accompanied by clear sky in the morning and dimmish air in the afternoon, extremely strong and fresh from the mountains the Vento in the morning and almost every afternoon the warm Ora from the south. The scenery is breathtaking and absolutely amazing, sailing with high mountains all around you and right under large cliff faces. Best spots in the morning are near Malcesine, Tremosine and Al Pra, in the afternoon near Conca D'Oro, Torbole and the Hotel Pier right under the cliff faces.

The best thing after high-wind sailing is of course a breakfast with some great italian cappucino and paste in one of the bars with a view to the lake, the large cliff faces, olive groves and lush pine vegetation. Torbole offers a vibrant cafe life, a lakeside promenade and of course splendid views of the activities on the water and a good recovery for the afternoon. More outdoor:
