The topography of the region and its generous climate make it possible to enjoy a wide variety of sports.
In summer, visitors with lots of stamina take to their mountain bikes or the hiking trails, combining activity with discovery. The adventurous set the adrenalin flowing with a bungy jump in Val d'Anniviers or river-rafting on the Rhône. For an amazing birds'eye view of this holiday kingdom, nothing can beat taking to the air in a hot air balloon or paraglider.
