Set off from Hotel Eden Roc and take a kayak or stand-up-paddle board east along the shores presenting the perfectly maintained gardens of the Ascona villa district(beginners) towards the unspoilt Maggia Delta (skilled athletes) – where the native aquatic plants provide an important ecosystem for many species of birds, fish and reptile.
Alternativly set off west – and glide along the lively Piazza Giuseppe Motta and the old town of Ascona (beginners). Here you will also find the old harbor with its colorful fishing boats. But please be careful when the ferry approaches the dock twice an hour.
