switzerland and northern italy

[nopes]

Can anyone recommend skate shops and park in this region?

Elbow park in Bologna if you want a good dose of fear to make you feel like a child.  Look up The Pasta Power Bru Ray with Giorgio Zattoni.

Zurich has one of the biggest skateparks in EU. I can’t personally comment on it because I didn’t get a chance to check it out.

Basel is great for street and tranny skating. Portland is a good diy park and there are lots of different ledge, bank and fountain spots in the city. The city is small so to get arround you can just push on your skateboard or rent a bike.

I'd go there first and ask the locals for street spots.

wow Port Land looks amazing and I will do whatever I can to get there. Bologna is my speed too for sure.

Thanks for all the fast replies!

Anyone going to the party at Postojna DIY this weekend?

Anyone have any details or want to carpool from the Venice/Padova area?

I’ll be based in Lausanne for the first few days but I will have a car and plan to go to Basel for one day. In Italy we are just driving around with Florence being the most southern we will go.

I plan on going through Lugano.

Wow you’re lucky, Lausanne is amazing. I went on a tour there with my friends and mainly skated the bowl in Vidy.
The whole city has some nice spots if you look around, I can’t tell you more because we were smoking too much weed at the time and it’s been 8 years anyways.

Geneva is also meant to be rad, it’s in the Skhateyou skatespot guide as well.

If you are driving through Simplon pass and need a stop before Lausanne, they opened a new skatepark in Sierre which is nice and 2 hours away from Lausanne.

Geneva has good street spots, you can explore the city and you'll find fun shit to skate everywhere.
Lausanne has good spots too but it's well hilly (which is not a bad thing at all). The bowl by the lake is rubbish.
Yverdon has a big skatepark with a good bowl.
Montreux has a good indoor park if it's raining.
There's a new skatepark in Sierre indeed, but it's not 2 hours away from Lausanne, it's closer (just over an hour).
Just over Sierre you'll have Alaïa Chalet too, a big indoor and outdoor skatepark where Chany works these days.
There's a good bowl and a fun pump track in Le Châble, between Martigny and the Saint Bernard Pass, where you'll have to go when leaving southern Switzerland for Italy.
Bern has Bernside, a good bowl built by the locals.

Where exactly are you going and what do you want to do or see?
I was born and bred here, I should be able to point you in the right direction.

Pietrasanta in the north west of Tuscany has that ill marble skatepark.

Bologna is rad.
Street beers at the San Francesco square, fuck yeah.

[j....soy.....]

Turin had a rad little street plaza and a legit shop.  Nice town too...

Thanks for all the help everyone but unfortunately I had to cancel my trip at the last minute because my dog is sick.
