Castiglione del Lago kitesurf, wingfoil and windsurf spot
Italy · Umbria
Overview
Castiglione del Lago is the main spot on Lago Trasimeno, the largest lake in central Italy located in Umbria. This shallow lake (max depth 6 m) offers ideal conditions for beginners and intermediates thanks to its flat water and sandy bottom where you can stand far from shore. The lake benefits from regular thermal winds in summer as well as Tramontana and Libeccio winds. The medieval town of Castiglione del Lago as a backdrop makes sessions particularly enjoyable.
