Thanks to its calm and clear water, Lake Ledro is the ideal lake to practice sailing and windsurfing. Every morning, at 11 a.m. a soft wind blows in the central-western part of the lake, between Pieve and Mezzolago and allows good and safe sailing. Especially beginners will have a lot of fun.
Lake Ledro is the second higher lake for sailing regattas in Europe. Thanks to its orography, Lake Ledro is considered the ideal place for team and round robin match race regattas.
