Meet the danger

Rest is a sweet word for everyone. But everyone has their own preferences. Someone likes to sit at home and, wrapped in a blanket, with a cup of hot chocolate to watch a movie, someone - to sunbathe lying quietly on the beach, someone - to measure the steps of the city and admire its beauty.

And there are people irrepressible, loving active rest. Nowadays, there is a large selection of winter and summer extreme sports, and it is up to you to decide which is more to your liking.

I want to tell you a little more about skydiving. Parachute sports became a mass form of recreation only 15 years ago. Now there are many options for jumping, and skysurfing, and group acrobatics, but the most popular Base-jumping. These are jumps from high-rise buildings and rocks – more dangerous, and therefore more vivid in sensation.

This kind of sport can be practiced in Russia. It is better to jump abroad with experience. Extraordinary parachute sport in the Canary Islands is immersion in the air element and soaring above the boundaries of the earth. Due to the warm climate of the islands, jumps can be made at least all year round. And while you will be hovering under the dome of the parachute, you can enjoy the amazing nature.

You can also test yourself in rafting on rough mountain rivers. This journey will be remembered for a long time.

And the most extreme rest can undoubtedly be called mountaineering, where both physical and psychological endurance of a person is manifested. Now this sport enjoys well-deserved popularity in France, Switzerland, Italy and Austria.

Mountaineering is something for the brave. Their main goal is to get to the top, despite the obstacles: ice and snow slopes, low temperatures, wind, snowfall. And it is better for beginners to train on simple routes, and then already think about the peaks of the Himalayas or Karakoram.

Extreme holidays are now attracting more and more tourists. Of course, it is quite expensive, mainly because of the equipment. But if you are really eager for new sensations, love danger, adrenaline, then this should not stop you.

Unforgettable impressions and take care of yourself!
