What to do besides kitesurfing
The best to kite from a boat on this lake. Ferries going across the lake many times a day, amazing opportunity to get on the water without doing sports. Many excellent italian restaurants to visit. Nature of the surrounding mountains is exceptional - trails, waterfalls, viewpoints. Great for biking too, and for morning paragliding too. Mornings are chill with the best coffee and brioche, you can go paddle boarding or swimming. The afternoon is all about kiting, and then pizza and drinks found in every beach bar on the spot!
