Nestled at the northern tip of Lake Garda, the venue offers easy launching, large rigging areas, and direct access to one of the most reliable and exciting racecourses in the world.

After racing, teams can unwind with legendary sunsets, swim in crystal-clear waters, and enjoy the energy of a vibrant sailing community.
