If you are looking for extreme adventure, make Interlaken, Switzerland your destination! Literally meaning “between lakes,” Interlaken is surrounded by stunning scenery – you will never want to leave!

With canyoning, river-rafting, paragliding, skydiving and bungee jumping, this is the perfect place for thrill seekers!

However, even if your not into extreme sporting, Interlaken itself will win you over with beautiful lakes and fresh mountain air.

Realtraveler Just described travels in Switzerland:

“Twenty minutes later we arrived in Interlaken (the adventure capital of Switzerland - if you’re into paragliding from dizzy heights etc.) We soon found out that the restaurants were totally over-budget (250hk dollars/ 17quid per head for a simple main course - time to hit the supermarket for the rest of our stay and light up the hobs in the hostel kitchen.

Cycling around the great lakes, having a picnic beside the lake (Iseltwald), going up through small villages in the mountains, coming across waterfalls (Glassbach)and putting the bikes on a ferry and being taken slowly back to our starting point would have to be one of our best memories of the trip.” (more…)

From summer to winter, there are plenty of activities, whether in the sunshine or snow!

Need to cool down during the hot summer days? Want to have fun under the sun? Grab some friends and take the kids, we’re going whitewater rafting in Canon City, Colorado.

Located just one hour southwest of Colorado Springs, you will have a blast as ripping through whitewater rapids!

RealTravel author Coloradorafting describes the experience:

“The Arkansas River in Colorado is one of the world’s most popular whitewater rafting destinations. The Arkansas River offers over 110 miles of navigable whitewater for visitors to choose from, at varying degrees of difficulty. Choose from half-day trips, to multi-day overnight river-side camping trips. From class III beginner whitewater trips, to thrilling class V trips through the Royal Gorge! No Colorado vacation is complete without visiting this river!

After rafting, journey to Colorado Springs and visit The Garden of the Gods. These red sandstone formations will leave you mesmerized! Take a free 30 minute tour with a naturalist or even go through the park on horseback! In the mood to cycle? The park even allows mountain biking on designated trails!

Realtraveler Jenny B. shares with us:

This is something the whole family will treasure!
