If you want to live a unique outdoor sports experience, one of the best places is definitely Canavese, where the pristine nature creates an ideal location among the hills, mountains and lakes; a unique setting for trekking to nature walks, from mountain biking to horseback riding, as well as, climbing sports on well-equipped rock climbing gyms, in most cases in the winter become waterfalls of ice.
The catalog of sports experiences to be realized in the Canavese is very varied, in fact, starting from the territory of the National Park of Gran Paradiso and from the mountain valleys, activities like summer and winter hiking with snowshoes can be carried out, skiing on the slopes of the Nordic and Alpine trails, or venture on the slopes of the mountains with ski mountaineering, and also going downhill on a mountain bike, or voyage on the streams and water races on canoes and dinghies, or ride on the rapids with white water rafts.
Always at the top of the lake of the Ceresole Reale dam, it is not unusual during the summer times to admire the evolutions of windsurfing, or lull oneself with the sailboats zipping from shore to shore driven by the mountain wind.
If Icarus has always been your favorite mythological character and you want to emulate the feats try flying, by paragliding from the top of San Giacomo or from Frassinetto or from Cavallaria.
Going down towards the plains, do not miss the chance to bike ride and travel the roads that were the scenery in the world of cycling, events of great national and international sport, and there are also numerous opportunities to walk across an 18-hole golf course.
If you prefer to be spectators instead, and are more protagonists, do not miss visiting the Stadium della Canoe in Ivrea perhaps during a race of national and international level.
