Living in a city is a big advantage as well as big routine from time to
time. Perhaps each person is an adventure seeker at heart, and, during
boring hours at traffic jams or standing in a queue we like to imagine
different unbelievable adventures, envious of this lucky guy Indiana
Jones. However there are some ways to make your dreams come true: to
set out in search of legendary Atlantis, to cross the ocean in a canoe
or - to look for adventures travel
Switzerland.
This country is rich for adventures to any taste. You just have to
choose whatever you would like to experience this time - and, getting to
Switzerland, you will realize your extreme dreams.
One of the Swiss favorite adventures is air-ballooning in Chateau
d'Oex, in southwest Switzerland. A 90-minute flight over a Swiss Valley
will become an unforgettable traveling and a source of marvelous photos
if you have a camera. Soaring at eye level of mountain peaks you can
watch beautiful wooden chalets and large pastures with green sappy
grass. In January the International Hot-Air Ballooning Week takes place
here: dozens of colorful balloons are taking to the skies and floating
in the transparent mountain air, presenting an enchanting sight.
Other famous Swiss attraction
is bungee jumping. Experienced jumpers said that the best place is the
Verzasca dam, 722 feet (220 meters) in height. The bungee cord is fixed
to your ankles; a step forward - and you are headily rushing down, then
a gentle deceleration - and you are bouncing over the emptiness.
Several seconds of adventure provokes such adrenaline secretion that
its flashbacks can linger for days.
In Switzerland adventures can be relaxing as well as extreme. So is
floating on the River Aare - especially popular among the citizens of Bern.
The best way is to leave clothes near the Marzili swimming pool and,
having walked upstream, to jump into refreshing water. Floating on the
River Aare is an ideal pastime during hot summer and doesn't require
special training.
There are many others breathtaking attractions in Switzerland besides
the preceding. The choice depends on your tastes, skills and courage,
but anyway you will feel yourself a real hero of a cliff-hanger.
