For sport in the village there are two points of reference. Edo Sport, in Zambla Alta on the provincial road about 200 metres from the Colle di Zambla, is the only sports shop in the municipal and Pro Loco lists: it sells mountain clothing and equipment and rents what you need for snow and for summer. The Scuola Sci Oltre il Colle brings together the basin's instructors, who teach cross-country, downhill and Nordic walking.

In winter they work on the same slopes: cross-country is learnt at the Colle di Zambla, a few hundred metres from the shop, and at Pian della Palla, downhill at the Conca dell'Alben. In summer Edo Sport rents e-bikes, via ferrata sets and child carriers. Mountain guides, horse riding, the Centro Sportivo Valle and the Pro Loco tennis courts have their own category pages.
