La Dolce Vita - Wing Foiling at Lago di Garda

Planning your holidays for next season? Lake Garda is a dream destination for Wing Foilers, offering stunning scenery and consistent winds all year round. The perfect blend of Italy’s rich culture, incredible food, and a vibrant water sports community makes this place a special spot for Wing Foiling enthusiasts of all levels.

Our team with Chiara Pandora Socin, Stefan Spiessberger, and Rocco Sotomayor share their love for this iconic location, from starting the day with fresh cappuccino and brioche to sunset aperitivos, pizza, and pasta with friends after an epic session on the water.

»I was born in Maui/Hawaii and moved to Torbole/Lake Garda when I was 6 years. Growing up as a local in Torbole, I have always been very fortunate to enjoy the exceptional wind conditions at Lake Garda on a daily base. Living and training in Torbole has shaped me into the athlete I am today. I’m grateful for the consistent winds and supportive community that make this place truly special.«

»I’m lucky to call this place home; it feels like the best kind of home. The perfect days are when the Ora wind holds steady into the evening. With friends, we soak in a beautiful sunset from the water, knowing an ice-cold aperitivo awaits us back on shore. This is the sweet life on Lake Garda. «

Usually, the morning wind blows from 8pm till 11pm, depending on the season and the sunlight. As the sun climbs higher, at around midday, you spot the "wind line" coming from south skimming across the water - the Ora is arriving again (usually between 12pm and 1pm). Now the better spot is the north of the lake Torbole/Conca d’Oro. Here the anticipation is palpable, because no one wants to miss the initial gusts. The lake ripples as I set up my foil; it's time to head the water again. Some prefer the Ora over the Peler, and anyone who claims otherwise is lying. Gliding across the lake to the other side (Ponale) is priceless.

Best Wind Times at Lake Garda:

  1. Morning - The Peler Wind:

    • Timing: Typically from 7 AM to 11 AM (varies with seasons).

    • Where: Strongest in the northern areas like Malcesine and Torbole.

    • Conditions: Ideal for early risers; steady and reliable, creating small waves for jumps and tricks.

  2. Afternoon - The Ora Wind:

    • Timing: Usually kicks in around noon and lasts until early evening.

    • Where: Best in the north, near Torbole and Conca d’Oro.

    • Conditions: Calm, smooth, and predictable; perfect for afternoon Wing Foiling sessions and relaxed glides across the lake.
