Extreme Sports

Downhill mountain biking, parachuting, bungee jumping, bouldering, sports climbing, adventure parks, canyoning: just some of the ways in which you can test your limits on holiday. And there’s nothing better than an adventure activity – carried out safely – to add a thrill to your trip.

Alongside Ticino’s extensive network of footpaths, cycle routes and mountain bike trails, you will find a host of opportunities to give yourself a buzz of adrenalin, through a wide range of extreme sports on offer throughout the region.

Bungee Jumping

The 220 m high dam of the Verzasca Valley is famous first because it is the highest dam in Europe and second because it was the setting for some scenes in the James Bond film "Goldeneye" starring Pierce Brosnan. The 007 programme starts with the pleasant journey up to the dam amidst beautiful green countryside.

Trail Ticino

4 Valleys, 28 lakes, mountain villages and grasslands, breathtaking. Ticino has so much to offer to the runners and supporters that will join the event in 2012.

Canyoning

Canyoning is a new sport discipline that consists in the descent, on foot, of impassable stretches of mountain waterways.

Bouldering

Bouldering is a sports discipline that in recent years has acquired growing importance even in the Canton of Ticino.

Monster Roller

Experience the adrenalin rush of a descent on a special Monster Roller scooter!

Quadri-Way

Summer 2012: halfway between a Quad and a mountain bike, Quad-way will allow you to make spectacular hikes or quiet walks on any terrain.
