The Lake of Como and in particular the Alto Lario (the northern zone of the lake) is renowned in all of Europe as an excellent sailing area and not only: this is the most windy area of the lake and the most unspoilt; from March to October, the Breva, a common temperate breeze of the Lake of Como, blows during the afternoons, guaranteeing uttermost enjoyment to those who practise sports such as sailing, windsurfing or new extreme sports such as Kitesurfing. When the lake is calm (morning and early evening), it is also possible to go water-skiing and canoeing.
The area offers numerous alpine destinations and several trekking and mountain bike trails. These are immersed in the peace of secular woods which together with mountains and alpine lakes bestow unique views to the tourist.
There are also many horse-riding centres in the area where you can set off on guided excursions on horse back inside the natural reserve of Pian di Spagna.
