Blessed with hills, mountains, lakes and more than 8000km of coastline, Italy offers much more than Roman ruins and Renaissance art. Adrenaline addicts can get their fix in any number of ways: there’s mountain biking, climbing and skiing in the Alps, hardcore hiking in the Dolomites and horse riding in the Apennines; you can climb active volcanoes in Sicily and shoot whitewater rapids in Calabria. Less daunting, Tuscany’s rolling landscape offers tasty cycling.
On the coast, sport goes beyond posing on packed beaches. The precipitous peaks of the Amalfi Coast harbour a hidden network of ancient paths, while further north Sardinia’s cobalt waters boast some of Italy’s best diving. Windsurfers flock to the northern lakes to pit themselves against fierce local winds.
Looking for a buzz even stronger than that lethal Sicilian espresso that just blew your head off? Allow us to offer a few suggestions…
