Sports and leisure activities Turin

Near the Lingotto, on the southern edge of the city. Built by architects Levi and Rigotti for the centenary of Italian Unity in 1961, this strange building was restored for the 2006 Olympic Games by the great Gae Aulenti (architect of the Musée d'Orsay) to house the ice-skating competitions. It's called "la Vela", after its sail-shaped roof, under which Gae Aulenti placed an enormous square red block. Today, the structure hosts sporting competitions, shows, concerts...

Designed by the great Japanese architect Arata Isozaki, the Pala Alpitour is a huge arena. Built on the occasion of the 2006 Winter Olympics, right next to the Olympic Stadium in the Santa Rita district, it hosted the ice hockey competitions for the occasion. Between 2021 and 2025, it will host the Masters Tennis Tournament, the last tournament of the season, where the world's top eight players compete every year. A multi-purpose structure, it also hosts concerts, conferences and various cultural events.

This beautiful minigolf course has been open since 1970, and is accessible on sunny days with a wide range of opening hours, so you can enjoy a fun (but also sporting) time with family and friends whenever you like, as it is open every evening until midnight. The course is progressive in difficulty, making it a real success. There's also a ping-pong table for enthusiasts, and a rather strange but highly entertaining game, calcio billardo (soccer billiards), in which you have to kick giant billiard balls!
