Whether you're alone, with friends, a thrill-seeker, or a nature escape addict, we offer a variety of activities. You'll surely find an adventure that tempts you and reignites your passion for fun!
1. A Stand Up Paddle Excursion
Also known as Paddle Surf, this sport has been winning over outdoor enthusiasts and water sports fans for years. It involves standing on a large board and paddling to glide peacefully across rivers, lakes, the sea, or any other body of water. It's beginner-friendly due to its easy-to-learn techniques and can be enjoyed solo, with family, or with friends—even on a giant board accommodating up to 10 people. A Stand Up Paddle session is calm, safe, and relaxing, allowing you to fully disconnect from daily life in search of peace and serenity. Plus, many SUP centres offer Stand Up Yoga classes, combining the benefits of yoga with complete immersion in nature.
There's no need to explain why this activity helps you overcome stress. The change of scenery, the tranquillity of the environment, and the sheer enjoyment are clear proof of total disconnection.

2. Skydiving
While few would bet on skydiving being good for health, it’s actually true. This extreme sport is ideal for learning to manage stress and make the most of it. It’s normal to feel some nerves before free-falling from a plane at 4,000 metres, but pushing through and conquering them is the ultimate remedy. And that’s exactly how you’ll learn to overcome stressful moments in life. Plus, freefall is a powerful trigger for so-called "happy hormones" like dopamine, which plays a key role in improving mood, reducing anxiety, stress, and depression.
Whether you just want to try it once with a tandem skydive or take it more seriously with training, the positive impact on you will be undeniable.

3. Bungee Jumping Experience
This is another free-fall activity, meaning it shares the same benefits as skydiving—but in a shorter time and with even more intensity. Another advantage? In France, there are bungee spots where you can jump with a friend, partner, family member, or loved one. Leaping together while attached, arms around each other, creates an incredible sense of relief, making the experience not only thrilling but also deeply comforting.

4. Paragliding Taster Session
Picture yourself free and majestic as an eagle soaring over breathtaking landscapes. The breeze brushes your skin, sunlight glints in your eyes, and you glide hundreds of metres above the ground... Is there any room for stress? Absolutely not! A paragliding taster session brings this exact vision to life. It’s impossible not to shed stress while floating in the skies with an instructor, whether over Lake Annecy, near Paris or Grenoble, or above the turquoise waters of Réunion Island.
