:: A GYM IN THE OPEN AIR

::Trekking, mbk, kayak, rafting, sailing, golf, Nordic and alpine skiing, riding, sub, paragliding, mountaineering.

::The generous nature and history have written a peculiar destiny for Liguria.
It's the destiny of a land where sea and mountains, rocks and paths, streams and woods, hills and sky are next to one another: they seem to embrace one another.

::If you try to imagine a meeting point of sport and tourism you think of Liguria which can be called "a gym in the open air".

::Nowadays the beauty of the environment and the choices of men allow Liguria to propose itself as a destination for people loving trekking, but also for the people who ride on horseback or prefer riding a mountain bike, for the bravest ones who climb up rocky faces or want to emulate Icarus while gliding in the sky practising paragliding, for the skiers who find tracks covered with snow few kilometres far from the sea in winter (in Monesi and in Santo Stefano d'Aveto, for example).

::But there is space also for people who have got a quieter idea of sport, made to measure for the ones who adore the relaxing green of a golf course or simply for the ones who cannot give up a game of bowls or riding a bicycle.

::Then there are the water sports: the most traditional ones, from swimming to sailing, from skuba diving to the newest ones that have got particular names and tell about overpowering passions and breathtaking emotions: rafting, kayak, tubbing, canyoning, then windsurf, aquatic skiing, catamarans and a lot of other opportunities in wonderful landscapes where adventure is the protagonist every day.

:: TREKKING ON THE BALKONY OF THE HIGH WAY
Four hundred kilometres through all Ligurian provinces, between the Due Santi pass and the Armetta peak.
This is the High Way of the Ligurian Mountains, a trekking ruote divided into numerous stopping places that make fans discover particularly striking spots, as if they were on an ideal balcony sheer to the sea.
The best time to get there goes from spring to autumn, even if the Apennine stopping places are fit for winter visits.

:: LIGURIA BY CYCLING
Fausto Coppi came training to Liguria according to the testimony of a historic film which shows him bent pedalling between the Aurelian Way and the sea.
Today Paola Pezzo, the women's champion of the Italian mountain bike, chooses the valleys which surround the Gulf of Tigullio.
Liguria by riding a bicycle is nice, both on the plain and in the mountains.
More than twenty mountain bike associations are scattered in the four provinces; the cycle tracks on the plain and in the town areas are very numerous, as it is testified by a programme for the carrying out of cycle tracks also on unusual runs, such as old no longer used railway lines or military roads.
