Sport
Sea
and land, an ideal climate for sport activities,
the support of the most advanced and extremely
versatile structures. These characteristics,
which make Alassio unique and precious, also
recommend it to the world as the ideal place
for sport. Modern facilities to satisfy the
requirements of all sportsmen are devoted to
traditional sports, both individual or team.
For obvious climatic and logistic reasons much
space is devoted to sport activities which don’t
require any facilities and to those requiring
facilities which can be integrated into the
natural surrounding, thus enabling sportsmen
to discover and enjoy the beauty of the landscape,
the variety and richness of the flora and fauna
which make of Alassio and Liguria a splendid
gym in the open air.
During
the Summer months (but not only) most sportsmen
are attracted by the sea: the wonderful depths,
the beaches and the cliffs offer many possibilities
for sport activities from diving to surfing,
from sailing, which has made the name of Alassio
famous all over the world, to cycling, from
wind-surf to off-shore racing. From volley-ball
to beach-ball from karate to aikido, from tennis
to bowling: from January to December the town
is always present in the roll of honour of sporting
events.
Hikers
and trekking lovers can enjoy wonderful itineraries
both in Summer and in Winter. Horse-riding fans
can find panoramic and naturalistic routes of
great quality following the ancient roads connecting
villages, far from the town noise.We must point
out the San Bernardo route better known as “green
route”. To get there it is very easy: from Via
Borri (sport ground) you go up in the direction
of the panoramic road towards the “Puerta del
Sol” as far as the remains of San Bernardo Church.
On the left of the road, opposite the Church,
starts the green route of about two kilometres
among pine trees and different types of bushes.
Some gymnastic tools and benches have been placed
among them to make the stay in those surroundings
more exclusive and pleasant.
You can also practice hang glider, minigolf,
table tennis, football, basketball...
