Rowing on Lake Varese
In recent years, Lake Varese has witnessed an incredible growth in tourism and sports activities, especially rowing, which has increased in popularity around the world.
So, it was no surprise that Australia's sports teams chose Gavirate, on the shores of Lake Varese, for their training centre in Europe, where they can acclimatise and train for important, upcoming European competitions.
Rowing is the sport most practised in the area, as the race venue offers particularly calm, flat waters surrounded by beautiful scenery.
No wonder the lake is home to two of the most important and well-known rowing clubs: Canottieri Varese and Canottieri Gavirate.
Lake Varese also offers a wonderful opportunity for cyclists, as it has a 27-km path, which connects to the cycle path around another lake, Lake Comabbio, which is ideal for rowing competitions.
