Thrills & outdoors

Flight, whitewater, cliffs and big thrills — the mountains in adrenaline mode.

For thrill-seekers, Haute-Savoie is a full-scale playground: free flight facing Mont-Blanc, whitewater, treetop courses and gorge descents.

In the air, paragliding takes off from the Forclaz above Annecy and from the Arve valley; on the ground, via ferrata, canyoning and rafting bring torrents and cliffs alive.

More family-friendly, the treetop adventure parks and, in winter, dog sledding outings round out the picture.

Many of these activities go through a provider (school, guides' bureau). Each listing links to the official site for conditions and booking.

There are beginner formats accessible to everyone: tandem flights, easy via ferrata, children's treetop courses.
