Let go of your inhibitions and try paragliding or skydiving in Interlaken
One of the best locations for active adventures is Interlaken in Switzerland. The picturesque terrain is the perfect place to jump right into (and we mean that literally). They don’t call it the capital of sky-high adventures for nothing, this is a place you need to be high in the sky to enjoy. One activity sure to get your blood pumping is paragliding, which involves running toward a cliff’s edge, before jumping off and releasing a parachute. Sounds scary, but Time Out’s Laura Osborne claims it’s “absolutely peaceful”.
For those a little more brave-at-heart, skydiving is a must-try activity in Interlaken. Free fall at lightning speed, while surrounded by the captivating Swiss Alps. Hopefully the view is so spectacular that you forget you’re plummeting towards the ground. Gulp.
