Thrilling Outdoor Adventure Sports Explained

Ground and Mountain Sports

Motocross

Motocross involves using specialized motorcycles for practice jumps and turns on a low, natural circuit.

Hiking

This activity consists of walking through mountain trails to enjoy the variety of natural landscapes.

Rock Climbing

Climbing is based on using different techniques to ascend mountain walls or artificial climbing walls. The necessary equipment primarily includes:

• Ropes
• Carabiners
• A descender (belay device)

Horseback Riding

Horseback riding is a variant of hiking or off-road bicycling, involving traversing a nature trail on horseback.

Bungee Jumping

Bungee jumping consists of leaping from a bridge with your feet tied to a dynamic rope, which is attached to the bridge's structure. The acceleration during the fall and the final jerk transmit sensations that are difficult to describe.

Winter and Snow Sports

Snowboarding

Snowboarding involves balancing on a board, similar to surfing, while gliding down ski tracks. The variety of techniques, jumps, and tricks offers fun and new sensations.

Alpine Skiing

Alpine skiing is a sport that involves sliding down snow-covered tracks at ski stations. It is a downhill sport using different techniques where the sensation of speed is permanent.

Ski Mountaineering

A combination of cross-country skiing and hiking, ski mountaineering involves following a route that does not pass through the marked and indicated trails of ski resorts.

Nordic Skiing

Also known as cross-country skiing, this mode allows for displacement on flat ground and uphill excursions. It permits you to journey through circuit paths without using mechanical lifts, which produces a great sensation of freedom and relaxation in nature.

Dog Sledding

Dog sledding is a sport that involves making a voyage in a sled pulled by dogs.

Thrilling Air Sports

Hang Gliding

Hang gliding is a free-flight sport. After gaining momentum and jumping from a mountain slope, you glide with a rigid frame covered in lightweight fabric. The trajectory is controlled by your body movements.

Hot Air Ballooning

This sport involves rising and moving through the air in a basket suspended from a large balloon.

Ultralight Flying

This consists of flying with ultralights, which are a type of very small aircraft. The structure is very similar to a hang glider but with an engine, so it can gain momentum on its own and does not have to depend on air currents to fly.

Gliding and Soaring

Gliding involves a small plane towing a very light glider with large wings up to a desired height. Once there, it is released to fly without any motor, using the impetus of the wind and warm air masses, allowing you to enjoy a stunning natural spectacle.
