Sports facilities and routes

Free time + sport + Alessandria&Monferrato = HOLIDAY !!!
Are you ready to accept our sporting challenge? Tone up those muscles and lungs and come and enjoy your favourite sport here. At many of the local stables and pony clubs, and also at many agriturismos, horses and riders will get a warm welcome and also have the chance to discover our wonderful countryside on horseback; these Green Weeks of discovery are also often combined with cookery and tasting workshops.
Cycling enthusiasts will find hundreds of kilometres of dedicated routes, both for those who like to speed along roads as well as those who prefer some serious climbs up and around our hills and the Apennines.
At Caldirola in the Curone Valley is an adventure park dedicated to downhill mountain biking complete with lifts to take riders back up to the top after a breathtaking descent. Also on offer are wheeled bobs.
Finally for fans of old-style sports there are tamburello and pallapugno, two sports that can be said to precede tennis and very closely related to the "pelota" of the Basque region. From March to October, in modern ballparks, in the streets and squares of the little towns there are little white balls being hit everywhere, up to 80 metres just with the force of a wrapped fist.
The excellent network of sports centres for football, volleyball and athletics means that the province of Alessandria is the perfect place to organise sporting masterclasses, pre-season tours and sporting galas for both small and large groups.
