SUP Course in Cannobio

SUP (stand-up paddling) is probably the most relaxed way to move on the water. Sitting or standing, you glide along. Suitable for young and old, tall or small, athletes or not. SUP truly excites everyone – and Lake Maggiore is perfectly suited for it. The Lakeview Cannobio Watersports School offers beginner courses in groups, and we’re happy to welcome families too. If you’d like to head out on your own afterwards, you can rent a SUP from us.

Learn Wingfoil on Lake Maggiore

The wind conditions on Lake Maggiore, and especially at Lakeview Cannobio Resort, are ideal for wingfoiling: you race across the lake on a foilboard (a board with an underwater wing), propelled only by the wind you catch with a wing. The Lakeview Cannobio Watersports School offers courses for beginners and advanced riders, one-to-one or in groups.

Duration: flexible
Level: intermediate to difficult
Equipment: life vest
Minimum participants: 1

eFoil Course in Cannobio

This trend sport, currently not permitted on Swiss lakes, is available as a course at Lakeview Cannobio’s Watersports School. You glide across the lake on an electrically powered eFoil. With perfect weight distribution, the board lifts out of the water and you hover about half a meter above Lake Maggiore on just one wing! We offer courses for beginners and advanced riders, as one-to-one lessons only. Read more about our boards and the Try & Fly events in our eFoil Center.

Duration: flexible
Level: intermediate to difficult
Equipment: life vest

Which course is right for me?

The SUP course is ideal for beginners and families. Wingfoil and eFoil require a bit more balance and stamina, but the coaches tailor the lessons to your level. In summer, the lake is often mirror-smooth in the morning – perfect for SUP and eFoil – while in the afternoon, the wind often picks up for wingfoiling.
