Up and down in the greenery

Not just spas. If you seek well-being every day, around Salsomaggiore there are many opportunities for your outdoor holiday. A walk in the woods or some sport, a short hike or a long journey through the wonders of a territory waiting, step by step to be explored. In Salsomaggiore Terme nature and sports are available for everyone, young and old guests alike.

Bike

A beautiful network of trails winds around Salsomaggiore which are suitable for those who enjoy cycling. The best way is to rent a mountain bike, wear a safety helmet and choose the most suitable path for your legs. Just getting a few kilometers away from the city centre you can meet even challenging inclines and slopes. Because of the many ups and downs, it is recommended that excursions do not last too long, especially if you are not very fit.

For a trip into nature, we recommend a bike tour in the Stirone National Park, on the border with the province of Piacenza. If you want to combine sport and art, you can reach one of the many surrounding villages and castles by bike.

After the game, a well-deserved rest: just enjoy the view or the outdoor pool overlooking a sea of green.
