Golf Bogliaco – 30 km
Created in 1912 and the third founded in Italy, the Bogliaco course is stretched in a 100-meter-high valley, allowing you to enjoy a beautiful view of the lake, which can be admired all along its length, and the surrounding mountains. The highly-articulated course is challenging even for the most experienced golf players, who have to deal with shots that require extreme attention and precision for centring well defended fairways and greens.
