Where to play paintball in Calabria

Looking for an adrenaline-pumping experience to share with friends? Try practising paintball in Calabria, discovering immersive scenarios where you can strip off your everyday identity and safely don camouflage.

What is paintball? It is a recreational-sports activity with a military scenario (war simulation) that originated in the USA in the 1980s and has as its main aim the conquest of the opposing base through the elimination of the "enemy", who is hit with special compressed-air "markers" (usually balls of animal or vegetable gelatine, filled with yellow paint).

It is a discipline that sharpens various skills and is practised in groups, both adults and young people and children, in the name of adrenaline and a truly adventurous experience.

Almost always immersed in beautiful landscapes, paintball is also an opportunity to discover green spaces and experience a day in close contact with nature.
