Fly To Calabria
For the second year in a row, the Calabria region is renewing its partnership with the Italian Chamber of Commerce for Switzerland to showcase its wonders to the Swiss public.
The region, known for its cobalt blue sea and unspoiled nature, is a true gem, excelling in various fields such as culture, sports, gastronomy, and outdoor activities.
Its five provinces, each with their own unique features, are waiting to be discovered, and the cities themselves are like open-air museums.
Food lovers will have the chance to savor the most authentic recipes from southern Italy, highlighting local products such as chili peppers, olives, Tropea red onions, and the famous bergamot, a citrus fruit grown exclusively in Calabria.
Few people know that Calabria is home to some of Europe’s most stunning and longest cycling routes. One of the most notable is the Ciclovia dei Parchi Calabria.
This 545 km cycling route crosses four of the most beautiful national parks in southern Italy: Aspromonte, Sila, Pollino, and Serre. It offers cycling enthusiasts a unique opportunity to explore breathtaking landscapes while promoting sustainability.
With 800 km of coastline, Calabria is one of the most renowned regions for its sea. Protected areas, such as those where seahorses breed, testify to the exceptional quality and purity of the crystal-clear waters, perfect for activities such as snorkeling, scuba diving, and kitesurfing.
This year, Calabria will once again be the guest region at the Gala Night, offering a welcome aperitif where participants can enjoy authentic Calabrian cuisine.
