Adventure Holidays In Europe |
Does the thought of screaming downhill on a mountain bike, pummelling waves on a surf board, landing a big air ski jump, or taking part in mountain games interest you? Europe , the world’s sixth largest continent, offers a great choice of activities for adventure sports enthusiasts. From the stark, dramatic Dolomites in Italy to the stunning coasts, canyons, rivers and mountains of Lycian Turkey, Europe’s natural wonders also include the towering peaks and black volcanic deserts of Iceland, the lush valleys and deep rocky gorges of Spain, the spectacular scenery of the High Tatra mountains in Slovakia, the icy wilderness of Finland, the frozen lakes of Norway, the hidden valleys and hanging glaciers of the Alps, the beautiful coastline of Greece and the rolling Tuscan foothills. Highlights for adventure sports enthusiasts include trekking through the snow-capped mountains, steep green hillsides, and powerful waterfalls of Norway ’s fjords or the rugged Taurus Mountains and enchanted landscape of Cappadocia .
Iceland ’s volcanic heartland offers excellent opportunities for trekking, while mountain biking through the breathtaking Italian Alps is both popular and strenuous. The stunning Soca River in Slovenia is a mecca for water-based adventure seekers, as is the southwest coast of Turkey . If winter sports are more your thing, the fjords and flanked mountains of Greenland offer up something a little bit different, while life in the Arctic Circle , particularly in Lapland , is never dull.
Chamonix is just the spot for outstanding snowshoe walks in the shadow of Mont Blanc, cross-country skiing in the Dolomites offers splendid panoramic views, snowboarding is spectacular in Austria's Stubai Alps, and the Italian-Swiss border offers up some of Europe's finest off-piste skiing for serious powder-hounds. Made up of forty-six countries and a few dependencies, territories and regions, Europe is separated from Asia by Russia 's Ural Mountains in the east, and the Caspian and Black Seas in the southeast. Europe 's highest point is Mt. Elbrus in European Russia which stands at 5633m, just north of the Georgia/Russian border. Kitesurfing, paragliding, skydiving, hang gliding, surfing, windsurfing, snowboarding, rock climbing, kayaking, whitewater rafting, mountain biking and scuba diving can all be practiced in Europe. Top adventure destinations include Italy , Turkey , Switzerland and France .
