Thanks to its position, Lucca is able to offer numerous sports activities including relaxing walks on the arboreal walls or along the path that runs by the side of the river Serchio.

Just a few kilometers from Lucca you can enjoy many beach activities, along the coast of Versilia, as well as amazing hikings and trekkings on the surrounding hills and peaks of the Apennines and Apuan Alps.

From Altopiano delle Pizzorne (Pizzorne Plateau), just over half an hour from the centre of Lucca, you can practice both paragliding and hang gliding and fly over the beautiful villas spread over the hills of Lucca.

The local flight club Alta Tensione will be happy to give you all the information you need to enjoy a beautiful flight with maximum safety, in collaboration with the paragliding and paramotor school FLYTEN.

Another adrenaline-filled experience is a hot air balloon flight, which can be taken over the city of Lucca and other cities in Tuscany.
