Paragliding in Lugano
"Glide into the wonderful fourth dimension - to forget about the fifth gear of your car. Seen from above, it looks so far away, even farther than the clouds on the horizon."
...Just bear in mind these simple and fascinating words...and you'll begin to understand the pureness and the incredible charm of flying...
Yes folks, Paragliding can make human's biggest dream come true !!!
These incredible flying tool is actually the simplest and the lightest existing on Earth...a sort of "Parachute's cousin" but much more enjoyable and affordable! In fact, you don't need to attend a "12 months course" or a "intensive back-breaking traning session" to float in the air...just ask for an instructor, fix the "launch", bring your camera and your favourite music with you and GO !
What are you waiting for?...no best place than Lugano to start,right?
On "Asbest Lugano" Website you can find more infos and contacts:
...and stop keepin' dreaming...

Mountain Bike in Monte Bré
An amazing experience in Lugano is Mountain bike in Monte Bré.
This Mount, overlooking this wonderful area can be accessed by the traditional funicular, and then you can have fun, getting down with a mountain bike.
You can choose between 2 options: the easiest one is to go down to Brè village and then follow the normal route till Lugano suburb "Cassarate" ,or, second choice, but harder, take the mountain bike path to Alpe Bolla,come down to Cureggia and finally reach Pregassona, really close to Lugano.
If you are interested in it, many itineraries exist all around the area. So many routes that the 2003 Mountain Bike World Championships were held in Lugano
Also, if you prefer to be accompanied by qualified staff, you can contact the team of Sport&Turismo (+41 (0)91 924 96 53), which organizes different excursions for the beginner to the expert biker.
