Zipline flight
The Zipline is a steel cable anchored between two points at different altitudes from which one descends safely at high speed, providing the sensation of free flight. The difference from Zipline from other ways of flight without an engine is that the Zipline is affordable to everybody; no specialist equipment, no particular skills or fitness preparations are required.
This experience faces the splendid panorama of Lake Maggiore, surrounded by the greenery of Valle Intrasca, wrapped up in the emotion of flying.
As the crow flies, the distance from Pian d’Arla (1.307 meters altitude / 4.290 feet) to Alpe Segletta (960 m altitude / 3.150 ft) is 1.850 meters (6.070 ft) to be covered in just over 90 seconds flying at the speed of over 120 km/h (75mph) firmly latched on to a cable.
Hang glider flights
Lake Maggiore is the right place to savour the experience of flying like a bird. You will discover what does it mean to soar, turn, climb and dive, reassured by the professional pilots. A magical panorama of Lake Maggiore is the ideal location for great adventures. Try a tandem flight in a hang glider or paraglider on Lake Maggiore!
The whole experience will last about a couple of hours, while the actual flight time will be about 15-30 minutes, depending on weather conditions.
The advice is to go to the meeting point in comfortable clothing according to the season (jeans and sweatshirt), a kway jacket, sunglasses, a good pair of gloves and mountain boots. Flights can be done all year round, weather permitting, but of course it is better in hot periods.
You don't need experience, you just need the desire to "feel free". You will experience an emotion that you will remember forever and that you can relive every time you want thanks to the video that can be made for you. Places at Laveno to experiense flights:

Arona Golf Club
Arona Golf was born in 1999 as a driving range with 18 covered positions and with the vocation to create new golfers. In 2003, the nine-hole Par 68 course was inaugurated and then transformed into a Par 70 with double starts. The course is flat and develops on a natural territory among woods and lakes that differentiate each hole in an original way.
Golf Club Varese
Varese Golf Club, founded in 1897, was established in its current site in Luvinate in 1934. The course, originally designed by architects Gannon and Blanford and expanded to 18 holes in the mid-1950s, is an undulating, technically interesting par-72 course.
Every hole, surrounded by the green of ancient, majestic plants, offers incomparably beautiful views that embrace Monte Rosa, the Maggiore, Varese and Monate lakes, as well as the hills of the Sacro Monte and Campo dei Fiori, which is directly behind the golf course. The proximity of the Prealps and the altitude of 425 m above sea level ensure a pleasant climate all year round.
Golf dei Laghi
Designed by the architect Piero Mancinelli, Golf dei Laghi was opened in 1993. It is not a particularly long course, but many natural hazards (trees, lakes and streams) require players to take special attention over their shots.
The design of the course allows you to play two, six, nine or eighteen holes, always finishing near the club house.The undulating, hilly course offers breathtaking views of Monte Rosa and Lake Maggiore, making the game exciting and enjoyable for players of all levels, requiring attention and strategy.
