Omegna Summer Games
The ultimate open-air sports village on Lake Orta
About Summer Games
Omegna: The capital of sports on Lake Orta
Every summer, the town of Omegna, in the Province of Verbano-Cusio-Ossola (Piedmont), becomes the stage for one of the most vibrant multisport events in Northern Italy. For nine days, the Omegna Summer Games turn the historic center and the promenade overlooking Lake Orta into a vast open-air sports village, where squares, streets, and the water itself host competitions, tournaments, and demonstrations for all ages.
Over 50 disciplines under one sky
The heart of the event is variety: it ranges from popular soccer, 3x3 basketball, padel, and beach volleyball tournaments to water sports that take full advantage of the lake—wakeboarding, canoeing, sailing, swimming, water polo, SUP, and rowing. There is no shortage of spectacular outdoor disciplines such as slacklining, rhythmic gymnastics, aerial dance, weightlifting, and Paralympic activities. In total, there are over fifty offerings, many of which are designed to involve children and families through open trials and interactive initiatives.
More than just sports: music, shows, and gastronomy
The Omegna Summer Games is also a local festival and entertainment hub. Framing the competitions are concerts and live music, evening shows, cooking demonstrations, motivational talks, and spacious food areas where you can enjoy local dishes and specialties along the lakefront. The formula combines sports, charity, and social connection: the event has a strong philanthropic and inclusive spirit, involving thousands of athletes, hundreds of volunteers, and local Pro Loco associations.
A growing appointment
Created just a few years ago through the initiative of DFM Events in collaboration with the Pro Loco of Omegna and supported by the Municipality of Omegna, the Province of Verbano-Cusio-Ossola, and the Piedmont Region, the event has grown rapidly to attract over fifteen hundred athletes and tens of thousands of visitors. It is the perfect opportunity to discover Omegna, stroll along the lakefront, and experience sports in one of the most beautiful settings on Lake Orta.
