1. Hot air ballooning in Mt Blanc & The Alps
A hot air balloon is definitely the more casual way to take in the vista’s from the top of Europe’s highest mountain.
2. Sky-diving in Seville, Spain
Talk about getting high! This is the best you can get in Europe—a whopping drop of 15,000 feet. And if you’re a bit of a pussy, a diving virgin, or a broke-ass, you can opt for the 10,000 foot drop for 185€ instead. Jump early in the morning and hit the ground in time for siesta.
3. Paragliding at Babadag (Olüdeniz), Turkey
Pilots flying from the Babadag mountain in Turkey can fly over the Olüdeniz lagoon before landing on one of the top 5 beaches in the world.
4. Hang gliding at the Alps
The Alps region is a superb destination for hang glider pilots. It offers great conditions above high mountains and the most amazing scenery to explore. It is the Mecca of free-flying.
5. Bungee jumping at Verzasca Dam, Ticino, Switzerland
At 220 meters, the Verzasca Dam is the only bungee jumping site where you can test your jumping nerves in the wee hours of the night, and it's the third highest jump in the world. (It was also featured in James Bond's "Goldeneye"... and you can get a "007 classic" :-D)
6. Dragon Khan, PortAventura Park, Salou, Spain
After the 161-foot drop, you're subjected to eight inversions and a stomach-turning 4,100 feet of spinning.
7. Zip wire at Fantasticable, TerrAltitude, Ardenne, France
"Fantasticable" slings thrillseekers down a steep hill and over the river Meuse on the Franco-Belgian border. It offers a peaceful, pastoral landscape through which you can plummet, screaming and cursing, at 80mph.
8. BASE Jumping on Eiffel Tower or Trollveggen in Norway
"BASE jumping is illegal from the Troll Wall because rescuers have a hard and dangerous time getting to jumpers if something goes wrong. That's why experts say only experienced BASE jumpers should attempt a jump from The Troll. The rock face is loose and craggy, but the views are spectacular."
9. Climbing The Matterhorn, Switzerland
For many climbers, ascending the Matterhorn, the birthplace of the sport of mountaineering, represents a return to the purist traditions of climbing. Its summit is 4,478 meters (14,690 ft) high.
10. Indoor Sky Diving in Bottrop, Germany.
Indoor Skydiving Bottrop is home to Europe's highest flight chamber, where those who suffer from vertigo can still experience the feeling of flight!
