 The
Tuscan landscape offers a vast choice of sport and leisure activities.
The region stretches from the Appenine mountains of 2,000 metres,
that hide ski fields and challenging climbs, to the gentle Tirrenean sea,
and an archipelago of islands to explore by sailboat. In between
you will find rolling hills, sweeping plains and lush forests
to traverse by foot, bicycle or horse. Contrary to popular belief there
is more to do than visit quaint villages and sampling local produce. Every
season offers plenty of activities. Travellers to Tuscany are spoilt
for choice for opportunities to learn or play every kind of sport,
at all levels, and for all ages - from skiing to sailing,
to horse riding, cycling, canoeing, trekking
and golf. The number of countryside resorts (agriturismi) where
you can hire a horse or a bicycle increases season after season. And when
you've had too much open air activity, you are in the region of
Tuscany with the highest concentration of thermal springs. You
can recharge your batteries in the same way as the Etruscans, the
Roman soldiers and men such as Lorenzo the Magnificent. And we can tell
you where.
