The site we used was a fantastic family run site that also had a restaurant and bar. Such nice people And very reasonable!!!
Located on the edge of the lake 15 minutes along the lakeside path. Thoroughly recommend!

From a K6 competitor who stayed there 2 years ago.
Hi Ian,
The K6 folks are trying to finalise arrangements with Gravadona yacht club….
The K6 community would welcome K1s, but will need a good number of entrants for it to be worth while in terms of extra organisation on behalf of the K6 association, and the host club.
Cost per K6 for entry in 2024 was 300 euros, so we should expect a similar entry fee next year, a bit less for single hander, add a bit for inflation.
Como is a two day drive from the south coast for most people….
Obviously fuel, ferries, tolls and accommodation will significantly add to this cost.
Expect there to be 5 days racing, weekdays, the end of June 2026.
Can you poll the K1 members and ask for expressions of interest! We need to get around a dozen boats to make this happen. At the moment it’s kind of “yes very interested would like to come when dates and costs are settled” rather than absolute commitment to come.
Then once we get costs and dates we will need commitment by December. Once enough have committed we can add others later, but without enough early commitments, it won’t happen…..
