Unbelievable Adventures You Can’t Miss In France

Are you heading to France on holiday this year? Along with sightseeing there are some incredible adventure activities that you definitely don’t want to miss out on. These activities are for everyone, but thrillseekers are sure to get a kick out of the options offered in this incredible country. So, let’s explore the possibilities and see whether they could be a great choice on your next trip to Europe’s crown jewel.

Canyoning

While this activity used to be purely for daredevils, it has started to become very popular with a wider range of people. Basically, canyoning involving jumping down into canyons and exploring what lies beneath. Typically, there will be water in these canyons, but on occasion, people will abseil down into dry canyons as well.

France is the perfect choice for canyoning, particularly with such lush landscapes filled with hidden waterways and deep rivers. There are, however, a few things that you need to know about canyoning before you start making these jumps. First, it can be highly dangerous even for trained individuals. Always make sure it is safe to jump by asking local experts and guides. Do not jump somewhere that people have deemed unsafe. Do not jump down if you don’t have an exit strategy.

Skiing

We don’t think it’s a secret to say that France is filled with beautiful places to ski. Gorgeous mountain ranges attract literally millions of tourists every year. But where is the best place to ski in France? Well, while there are numerous options to explore, we think that Three Valleys ski holidays offer an unbeatable experience. With 335 runs to choose from, you will love exploring this incredible area.

That’s true whether you are new to skiing or if you have been doing it your whole life. Anyone can enjoy a trip to these powder-covered slopes.

Glacier Cycling

Speaking of chilly weather activities, France is perhaps one of the only places in the world where you can try cycling on top of an avalanche. This rather unique activity is available to those who visit Alpe d’Huez. This mountainous region has always been popular for those seeking a luxurious vacation in France. It’s filled with cycle paths to explore as well. Of course, sports fanatics felt the need to take it one step further. Today, they ride across the avalanches in this region and enjoy a fantastic sporting event here.

Wine Wonders

Are you heading to the south of France? While it might not be quite as pulse-pounding as some of the other activities on this list, you might want to consider exploring a classic option for those vacationing in France. That is, of course, the chance to go wine tasting and this is particularly popular with tourists through the spring season. You can explore various vineyards and delight in sampling the spectacular flavors of some of the best wines in the world. If this sounds like exactly what you need on vacation don’t forget that you can also cycle through these magnificent vineyards. As well as this, a glass of wine a day is also supposed to be very good for your health!

Hopefully you will try some of these on your next trip to France!
