Spot Check
We recommend as the best time to travel the months of June to September, which bring the warmest and most beautiful weather. So if you just want to relax, swim, surf, bike or sail, this is the best time. At this time the northern part of Lake Garda is also particularly popular with surfers and kitesurfers: in the morning the Peler blows here from the north and from noon the Ora from the south. The two winds are created by the outflow and inflow of cold and warm air masses from the mountains and are an exciting natural phenomenon.
