On 24 and 25 July Ticino hosts the European championships of diving from great heights. A highly engaging event for the public, who is always enchanted by the power and grace of these athletes and these athletes.
A sport that first of all represents a lifestyle. Freedom of movement, body and spirit, great contact and great respect for nature. Hard and constant training, I use and give up: "Cliff Diving is synonymous with perfect performance, strength and freedom".
The audience looks with pathos, participates authentically in the jump, remains with bated breath and then rejoices at the athlete's touch with the water.
In the Gorge of Ponte Brolla, a magnificent place with great visual impact, the European championship of diving from great heights had already taken place in the past. Now the best European athletes are back, performing in breathtaking dives and perfect flying stunts. A spectacular race - with free admission - with women and men, divided into various categories.
The organizers recommend the use of public transport and comfortable shoes.
The place, naturally steep, could be difficult for disabled people and small children.
