A fun workout on the water
20/07/2023

Balance and power

Glide over the lake on a stand-up paddle board

Lake Maggiore is a real water-sports paradise. Why are more and more people hopping on a stand-up paddle board? Because it’s fun, scenic, and relaxing!

When you step out of the door of Vista Lakefront Boutique Hotel, you’ll find yourself standing on the shore of Lake Maggiore, looking out over the deep-blue water and watching the many water-sports fans enjoying all the lake has to offer. As well as swimming, surfing, sailing, and pedal boating, stand-up paddle boarding has become extremely popular in recent years.

And that’s no surprise, as the feeling when you stand up and paddle over Lake Maggiore is simply incredible. This fun, trendy sport also gives the muscles in the shoulders, back, and torso a workout and boosts your sense of balance and coordination. While you’re standing on the board and constantly counteracting the movement of the waves, your deep muscles are engaged and challenged.

After a day out on the water filled with laughter and stunning views, spend the evening unwinding while strolling through Ascona, sipping an aperitif on the lakeside terrace at al Piazza, and then savouring a delicious dinner at al Pontile.

Can you imagine a better way to spend your summer holiday?
See you soon in Ascona!
