Trekking, sailing, cycling, and kitesurf guarantee a fast-paced vacation, full of experiences to remember. Ride together or solo through the extraordinary natural landscapes

Active & Green. Protected areas between the parks, lakes, and rivers. An active vacation offer all the emotions of a thrilling getaway with less impact on the environment. Get your fill of authentic nature, immersed in the wildlife and explore the outdoors like never before. Unplug from the city and calibrate your senses in any season.

Whether you’re heading off for a solo journey or together with friends, an active trip in Lombardy is the perfect opportunity to squeeze in a little digital detox while exploring the countless trails, bike paths, and mountain views. Mountain sports are on all year-long, from the summer trekking to winter skiing. Hit the Alte Vie of the Alps or hop on a bike to follow the spiritual trails like Via Francigena that cuts across more than 120 km.

Ride the rapids or paddle away on the Ticino River, which also features easy stretches for the entire family. Lake Como is a great option for kitesurf beginners, while the more windy Lake Iseo and Maggiore are better suited for the experienced riders. Meanwhile, Garda, the largest lake in Italy, is ideal for sailing. Run your heart out in one of the largest parks of Europe at Monza Park.
