In addition to good wind, Lake Garda has amazing scenery with mountains rising up on both sides. Tiny Italian villages with the occasional castle dot the shore across the entire landscape. Paddle as far as you like on your morning downwinder, and end in any of the villages. Pick one with a nice cafe and wait for the wind to switch. As the land heats up the wind dies from the north and begins to fill in from a southerly direction. Eat some lovely Italian food and enjoy the beautiful mountain scenery while the building white caps announce it’s time for your return trip home.
