The Euganean Hills offer not only breathtaking views and a tranquil atmosphere but are also a paradise for outdoor sports enthusiasts.

1- Trekking in the Euganean Hills

Embarking on a hike through the trails of the Euganean Hills is like stepping into a living painting.

With 38 marked hiking trails winding through lush woods, Mediterranean scrub, picturesque vineyards, and flowering meadows, trekking enthusiasts can explore natural beauty in all its shades.

From easier family-friendly routes to more challenging trails for experienced hikers, there is something for every skill and interest level.

During hikes, one can admire a rich and diverse flora, comprising over 1,700 botanical species, about one-sixth of Italy’s entire flora.

2- Road cycling and mountain biking

For those seeking a more dynamic experience, the Euganean Hills provide the perfect terrain for road cycling and mountain biking.
The winding roads climbing the slopes of the hills offer exciting challenges for cycling enthusiasts, while dirt paths through the woods deliver thrills to adventure lovers on two wheels.
A special mention goes to the Euganean Hills Cycle Ring, known as E2, a well-maintained bike path of over 60 kilometers that circles the entire area along embankments and fields, crossing small villages and historical sites.

The route is mostly flat, with a total elevation gain of about 80 meters, making it suitable even for less experienced cyclists.

Along the way, you pass through places of interest such as Montegrotto Terme, Battaglia Terme, Monselice, and Este, each with its own historical and cultural features.
E-bikes are available at the hotel!

3- Golf: an oasis of green tranquility

Nestled in the natural beauty of the Euganean Hills, golf becomes a luxurious experience.

These courses are set in unique landscapes, with breathtaking views of the hills and lush vegetation. Playing golf in this area allows you to combine sports activity with the pleasure of immersing yourself in a stunning natural environment.

The three main golf courses (Montecchia, Frassanelle, and Padova, all just a few minutes’ drive from our hotel) provide a serene setting to practice your swing.

4- Horseback riding: slow down

Exploring the Euganean Hills on horseback is a journey through time and space. Horseback rides offer a more relaxed way to immerse yourself in nature.

5- Climbing: the Euganean Hills from a different perspective

For those seeking a more vertical experience, climbing in the Euganean Hills offers exciting challenges and breathtaking views.

The Rocca Pendice wall is well-known and a favorite destination for climbing enthusiasts.

The Euganean Hills are much more than just a tourist destination.

They are a paradise for outdoor sports lovers, offering a wide range of activities to satisfy every type of adventure and desire.

Whether you’re a passionate hiker, adventurous cyclist, or golfer looking for a flawless course, the Euganean Hills are ready to welcome you with all their facets.
