Windsurfing, sailing and activity holiday on Lake Garda, Italy
WELCOME TO
Europa Holidays
Europa Holidays should be your first choice for a Lake Garda activity holiday. We have the perfect location for windsurfing, sailing or exploring and we welcome families. Our watersports centre has well-maintained, modern equipment for all levels and can be reached easily by foot, bus or car from all of the surrounding area. Our location 9km from the north end, means that we benefit from both morning and afternoon thermal winds.
AND TO
Lake Garda
Lake Garda with its thermal winds and proximity to the mountains and classical Italian cities is the perfect place for a holiday. It’s the destination of choice for the passionate sailor or windsurfer as well as for mountain bikers, climbers and lovers of all outdoor sports. The cities of Verona and Venice are only a couple of hours away which mean that culture and shopping are very much on the agenda for a family who want an all round holiday.
WIDE RANGE OF WATERSPORTS
Windsurf courses and sailing courses and coaching
All of our courses have the emphasis on the practical aspects and can be tailored to your requirements. Personal coaching can be organised for those who wish to perfect a specific skill and funsails are available for those who just want a personal or a family adventure.
The morning winds, typically Force 4 to 5, suit more experienced sailors while all will enjoy the lighter afternoon wind in the bright sunshine.
Perfect dinghies, catamarans and windsurf equipment for rental
Our dinghies and catamarans are maintained superbly and are rigged for you, whenever you sail. For alternative fun, we have kayaks and SUPs available.
Our windsurf boards and sails are chosen for their suitability for Lake Garda and can be matched in hundreds of combinations, to suit beginners of all age, weight and athleticism.
FUN ON AND OFF THE WATER
Activity holiday plus …. theme parks, excursions, climbing, biking
We welcome families and our centre is well equipped for childrens’ windsurfing and sailing. Kayaking and stand-up paddle boards (SUPs) are also available. We can arrange fun for all ages both on and off the water and are ideally situated for child-friendly accommodation and restaurants with excellent food.
Climate and winds
We have an average of more than 9 hours of sunshine each day, from June through to August and on 80% of the days there is a good wind away from the shore (Force 4 or above).
It can be very hot but there are always cool places to go such as Monte Baldo or the little castle of Malcesine, where you’ll also find the best ice-cream shop.
Culture, eating, exploring, enjoying the sun
The city of Verona only an hour away which means that culture and shopping are very much on the agenda for a family who want an all-round holiday. The ultimate tourist destination of Venice is a just couple of hours away.
Nearby are some of Europe’s best theme parks – Gardaland, Caneva, Movie World. There are also the festival towns of Bardolino and Lazise at the south of the lake.
