  Horse riding - Horse Trekking

  A renewed tradition, horse riding took root as an important sport in Varese already in the 19th century. There must be a reason if the Malpensa heath is also known as "the Ireland of Italy". It expands across the heaths between Somma Lombardo, Casorate Sempione, and Gallarate and it is one of the highest in Europe. The perfect place where to enjoy the ultimate horse riding experience. Here is where some of Italy's Olympic horse riders took their first steps in this sport. Moreover, all the horse riding schools across the area organise tours and courses for children and beginners to make your holiday even more special. The many trails, bridleways, and dedicated services along with breathtaking sights will make your horse riding experience in Varese truly original and enriching.

  Rowing

  The all-conquering eight of Ignis Rowing Club is the symbol of a record achieved in the '60s. Since then, Varese has kept collecting achievement after achievement. In fact, its passion for this sport has been growing ever since. The Schiranna lake is a popular destination for international teams, which choose this wonderful location for their practice sessions, due to the water and weather conditions. This same lake is also the scenery of some of the most important international competitions. But this is not all. In fact, the "province of the seven lakes" offers many other places where rowing enthusiasts can play their favourite sport at a competitive level or tourists can spend a few hours enjoying a healthy and gratifying outdoor sport.

  Varese, land of motorbikes

  Varese is always at the forefront when it comes to motorcycles. This time, a network of enthusiastic and engaged players has created the “Varese Terra di Moto” (Varese, land of motorcycles) project: an integrated brand that will bring economic development to the city, besides transforming it into a territorial and tourist attraction. The “Varese Terra di Moto” project is not just based on the glorious past of brands that have dominated international competitions for years. Today’s supply chain includes, all at a short distance from one another, manufacturers of motorcycles – such as MV Agusta and SWM – components, and accessories, as well as organisers of events related to this world, even in World Cup speedways, and, of course, training and service providers, in addition to those who can attract tourists among valleys and pre-alpine lakes with all things motorbike.
