Make waves or just savour the views on a holiday to Torbole, northern Italy's windsurfing capital.
Wow-factor watersports
Torbole has all the trappings of a fine north Italy resort, but its biggest draws are wind-powered. The town's trio of windsurfing schools keeps the lake dotted with brightly coloured sails. It's a fantastic base for hiking, too, with jaw-dropping views within striking distance.
Soul food
Visitors to the region are in for some seriously scrumptious food. Pop into a local cheese factory for a spread of cheeses, salami and honey. Restaurants all over town plate up pizzas and pastas that are easy on the wallet – plus they're served with lake and mountain views.
Harbour hub
Town life revolves around the harbour, spilling out from the pretty piazzas and terracotta-topped buildings. The lakeside promenade's a favourite with cyclists and strollers. To explore further afield, other lakeside towns can be reached via the frequent ferries.
