There are many opportunities for recreation in and around Turin. The Alps are an hour's drive away and offer summer and winter activities: mountain-biking and hiking trails, river-rafting, horseback riding, world-class downhill and cross-country skiing and snowboarding. Lifts and runs were upgraded for the Olympics. Visit http://www.torinopiemonte.com for more information on places to ski/snowboard, cross-country ski or play golf.
