In Oltrepò Pavese there is no sea, but who said that to feel the sand under your feet you have to go where the waves break? 🌊🏖️🌊
In some corner of green in Oltrepò, between the plains and the hills, between the blue of swimming pools, some trampolines and ice-cream kiosks, there is beach volleyball 🏐 of sports centres equipped with sand courts.

The ‘off-beach’ summer sport

The Oltrepò Pavese always has a thousand resources and knows its stuff even when it comes to beach volleyball.
It may seem unusual and ‘out of the area’, but this sport is increasingly popular and in fact, among our hills, it has become a beautiful summer ritual.

A strong point of beach volleyball? It’s OK for everyone, even for those who feel like dorks, because you can easily blame it on the sand … 😀
“there was a mound right there that made me stumble” – “I thought I saw a bug and I didn’t want to step on it”… and while having fun, you get better and better at balancing.

Where to play beach volleyball in Oltrepò Pavese

Playing beach volleyball is always a lot of fun. At every game, not only the ball flies over the net, but also time and lots of laughter.
Here are some pointers for those who simply want to spend carefree afternoons and for those who enjoy a challenge, making summer tournaments.

🟨 Cardazzo Village, in Bosnasco, in the hamlet of Cardazzo, the last village in the province of Pavia before arriving in Emilia Romagna, and therefore also convenient for those arriving from Castel San Giovanni, Piacenza and surrounding areas

🟨 Casteggio Sports Centre, close to the first hilly strip of Oltrepò Pavese, a town well connected by the A21 motorway and the Voghera bypass.

🟨 At the Salice Terme Golf Club, easy to reach by motorway from Milan and Piedmont.

Those who want to be sure of having the beach volleyball court available can book a court by contacting Oltrepò Tennis Academy in Codevilla (PV).
