Sport

The beauty of the natural lakeside setting is conducive to sports that fortify both body and spirit. As well as the mountains excursions, there is a lakeside rock face at Vesta which is ideal for free-climbing enthusiasts. Another pleasant pastime in an unspoilt environmental involves mountain biking on tracks that criss-cross the surrounding hills, and expert bikers can enjoy road cycling. The wind gets up every afternoon at a set time on the lake, to the delight of surf-boarders, whereas the flat calm in the mornings attracts plenty of patient fishing enthusiasts. For expert-and darind-canoeists, there is the river Chiese, where national races have been staged. And for the less adventurous there are plenty of facilities for tennis, table-tennis and beach volleyball.
