On land, on water or
even in the air, sport lovers have a wide range of options. For those who prefer the lakes, apart from swimming there is also the chance to enjoy a moment of relaxation sailing on Lakes Verbano (Maggiore) or Ceresio (Lugano), not to mention the fly fishing. There are excursions on horseback or in horsedrawn carriage, demanding forays on mountain bikes along uphill climbs or steep descents, or bike tours along cycle routes and paths for those who like to keep their feet on the ground. Anyone who likes flying can enjoy paragliding or parachuting, or experience the thrill of a 220m bungee jump from the Verzasca dam (like James Bond-007). The more adventurous will enjoy a descent by canoe down the Ticino river, or they can try their hand at the new sport of canyoning. Golf enthusiasts will discover three wonderful 18 hole courses at Ascona, Losone and Lugano-Magliaso. From the most adventurous to the most relaxing sports, whether indoor or outdoor, traditional or new world sports, Ticino has the answer if it's sport you're looking for.
