Bowling rinks

The game of bowls – a part of Ticino’ storied past – is slowly disappearing and being transformed from a occasion to meet with family and friends to a real sport, played on professional pitches. Until the early post-war period almost all grottos had a bowls pitch where, after lunch or dinner, customers competed with one another. While once a popular game, tourists now have few opportunities to spend few relaxing hours playing bowls in the fresh Ticino valleys or at hangouts on the banks of the lake. However, several 'grottos' do still offer this option:
