Sport in Sirmione

Along with cycling routes and all the activities that can be practiced on the beach and outdoors, Sirmione offers many other opportunities and sports facilities for a various range of disciplines.

 

Canoeing and SUP

If you like canoeing and SUP (Stand Up Paddling), or if you want to try these sports for the first time during your holiday on Lake Garda, you can do so from some of the beaches in Sirmione and enjoy the sport in the amazing scenery and water of Lake Garda.

In Sirmione you can find canoe or SUP rental services at the Lido delle Bionde, on Galeazzi beach and on the beach of the Lido di Lugana in front of Silk restaurant.

Golf

Sirmione and the lower end of  Lake Garda are excellent points of reference for golf enthusiasts who would like to spend a holiday enjoying their favourite sport.

The closest golf course to Sirmione is the 36-hole Chervò Golf Hotel & Resort San Vigilio in Pozzolengo, which is suitable for both professionals and amateurs. Further afield you can find the Golf Club Paradiso del Garda in Peschiera del Garda, the GardaGolf Country Club in Soiano del Lago, the Arzaga Golf Club in Calvagese della Riviera, the Golf Club Colombaro in Cunettone di Salò and the Golf Club Villafranca in Pozzomoretto, in the Custoza area.

These golf clubs can not only be easily reached using private transport, but some hotels also offer a shuttle bus service.

 

Boats

Sirmione and Lake Garda offer a wide range of opportunities and impressive discoveries for anyone who enjoys boats and water sports.

If you want to explore the lake using your own motorboat, you can go to a private boat storage to find out which berths and moorings are available. Alternatively, you can rent dinghies or motorboats. If you do not have a license, you can opt for the rental of a motorboat up to 40 hp.

Remember that motorboats are not allowed at the northern end of the lake in Trentino, beyond the invisible line that links the Corno di Reamol (Limone sul Garda) and the Galleria del Confine (Malcesine).

Water skiing and wakeboarding sports can be enjoyed on the lake with a motor boat, in compliance with the local rules of navigation.

Sailing

Lake Garda provides an extraordinary setting for sailing: its frothy waves and blustery winds that blow across the lake change at different times of the day, so every moment is unique and provides different views and sensations.

You can practise this sport in Sirmione or around Lake Garda by contacting the many sailing schools in the area and, in Sirmione specifically, the Yachting Club Sirmione (tel. 030 9904078). Lana Planet also provides windsurfing, kitesurfing and SUP courses in Sirmione.
