Valentine's Day is here again, and as usual, we're bombarded with suggestions for romantic couple activities. But no—what I’m proposing to you, as someone proudly single, is to ignore society’s obsession with finding your "better half." Enjoy a completely different kind of leisure, one where you’ll have a fantastic time, whether alone or with friends.

8 Adventure Sports for Singles
 
Hiking

Hiking is the ultimate singles’ sport. Many people opt for organised trekking routes where you not only get some outdoor exercise but also meet like-minded enthusiasts. It’s a great excuse to get fit and escape the pollution of big cities.

Paramotoring

Have you always wanted to fly but never had the chance? Well, what are you waiting for? Head to the mountains and soak up the breathtaking views. This sport is perfect for experiencing the thrill of flight—you might even discover a new passion and decide to train as a professional pilot.

Surfing

If you’re a beginner, the best option is to join a surf camp where you’ll meet people from all over, both locals and internationals. It’s ideal for bonding over shared interests, and after a few days together, lifelong friendships often form.

Driving a Ferrari

Especially if you’re an F1 or motorsport fan, this is the perfect chance to indulge in luxury vehicles like Ferraris, Hummers, Lamborghinis, or Porsches. Feel the roar of the engine and push the pedal to the metal! A professional co-pilot will guide you to maximise the experience.

Hang Gliding

This is another top-tier aerial sport, but with an extra adrenaline kick compared to paramotoring. Hang gliding lets you fly faster and perform daring manoeuvres, all under the supervision of an expert pilot.

Snowshoeing


While there’s still time to enjoy the snow season, I’d recommend joining one of the weekend routes organised at most ski resorts. Like hiking, these attract both solo adventurers and groups of friends. It’s incredibly fun and 100% worth trying.

Quad Biking

The ideal way to test your off-road skills on a guided tour where you’ll handle these powerful vehicles. Perfect for adding excitement to a day in the countryside—mud, puddles, and bumps are no match for a quad.

Windsurfing

A year-round water sport to unwind by the sea, lakes, or reservoirs. Choose between a taster session or a beginner’s course to get started. You’ll learn to control the sail and let the wind carry your stress away. Absolutely incredible.
