In the town of Garlenda, in the valley of Lerrone, the Garlenda's Golf Club offers the possibility to play with a good technical level in a breathtaking surrounding. The 18 holes of the fields, in fact, designed by architects Morrison and Harris are perfectly inserted in the landscape, exploiting the natural features without waisting its structure.

DIVING e IMMERSIONS

In the Riviera Ligure a sport of great interest is the diving to discover the landscape submerged of the seabed. Nuances polychrome hide a life silent and buzzing just few metres from the coast. Both for those who prefer the exploration of fish fauna and for the lovers of wrecks and archaeological discovers, the sea depths are really a beautiful chance.
The waters of Riviera allow you to practise any type of activity underwater: immersion in apnea, fishing , and so on.

SAILING BY BOAT

Sailing by boat is surely a great experience in a landscape as the riviera's coast. Due to the changing that nautical tourism is having in our country, placed in the centre of the Mediterranean, with its amazing islands and natural beauty, boating has had a great development.
The schools for boating and water scooters are becoming more numerous. The Ligurian sea and coastal areas are equipped for those who would try the thrill of running water with wind in the hair.

FREE FLIGHT and SKY DIVING

Imagine a long strip of mountains which overlook the sea, walls that dive in a clean blue water and a clear sky. A genuine paradise for those who seek a jolt of energy trying the parachute or the paraglider. There are many points of take-off along the coast of the Ligurian Riviera delle Palme; in addition, in the Villanova d'Albenga's airport you can find an Aeroclub (Savona and Riviera Ligure's Aeroclub) with professional schools for those who wants to practise parachute or free flight sports.

EQUITAZIONE

The hinterland of the Ligurian Riviera delle Palme seems to be made especially to meet the fans of horse riding, with its equipped paths that cross the province. The many riding schools you can find across the territory allow anyone to spend a pleasant day, but the Riviera offers also the possibility to follow true horse races the racecourse of Villanova d' Albenga.
