In Genoa it is possible to practise almost every kind of sports. Thanks to the climate and to the sea it's possible to swim, jog, skate or go biking on the seafront, just a few steps from the city center! But there is also plenty of beaches, parks and promenades where exercising or relaxing is possible.
For winter sports lovers numerous skiing locations are available in a little bit more than two hours from Genoa, such as Val di Susa, Limone Piemonte and Mondolè Ski between Pratonevoso, Frabosa and Artesina.
There are also sports clubs, as the CUS (Centro Universitario Sportivo), which organize courses, tournaments and championships for many types of disciplines.
