Where the Magic of the Wind Begins
In Campione del Garda, the wind isn’t just weather — it’s a way of life.
In this unique corner of Lake Garda, nestled between the cliffs of the Alto Garda Bresciano Park, two main winds shape each day: the Pelèr and the Ora.
These thermal winds, created by the temperature difference between the plains and the mountains, have made Campione a natural playground for water sports.
⸻
The Pelèr – The Morning Wind
At dawn, when the lake is calm and golden light touches the peaks, the Pelèr arrives.
Blowing from the north, it can reach speeds over 20 knots, making it a favorite among experienced sailors and kitesurfers who chase the early-morning thrill.
Fresh, strong, and consistent, the Pelèr brings perfect conditions for sailing, kitesurfing, and the pure energy of freedom on the water.
⸻
The Ora – The Afternoon Breeze
As the sun warms the valley, the Ora rises from the south — gentle, steady, and ideal for sailing lessons, windsurfing, and wingfoiling.
Blowing at 10 to 16 knots, it offers smooth, predictable sessions perfect for learning, training, or simply enjoying the lake from a new perspective.

Thanks to this perfect balance of winds, Campione del Garda is now one of Europe’s most beloved spots for sailing and board sports.
Its sailing, kitesurf, and wingfoil schools welcome both beginners and pros, offering world-class instruction in a stunning natural setting.
Every day, the wind brings energy, passion, and a sense of connection with nature.
