Kayak tour on Lake Livigno (Livigno, SO)
On the border between Italy and Switzerland, at an altitude of 1,816 metres, you will come to Lake Livigno, located in the midst of the mountains. Here you can enjoy the unmissable experience of exploring its crystal waters on board a kayak.
Also known as Lake Gallo, Lake Livigno covers an area of 4.71 km² across the valley of the same name. Its waters are fed by alpine streams, such as Spöl and Federia, creating an enchanting setting, with reflections that vary from deep blue to emerald green, according to the light and the weather conditions.
Originally a means of transport used by the Inuit people, the kayak is one of the most popular water sports with experts in the field and not only. Taking a kayak out onto this lake means immersing yourself in the peaceful, silent atmosphere, where the only sound you will hear will be that of the oars on the water. Off the beaten track when it comes to tourism, Lake Livigno can show you hidden corners where you enjoy the unique views of the surrounding mountains.
The route covers a section bordered by the lake and devised to guarantee safety and maximum peace of mind. It starts from a base along the eastern shore, following the profile of the mountains to arrive in the quieter zones, far away from the noise and traffic. During the tour, it is possible to stop off at the "Floating Island", a platform in the centre of the lake, where you can admire the surrounding panorama or even just sunbathe.
This is an ideal activity for families, couples or groups of friends. Thanks to the presence of qualified expert instructors and suitable equipment, it is also a child-safe activity. This means it is a unique opportunity to share special moments, strengthen bonds, and make unforgettable memories.
