Canyoning
This mountainous area is peppered with valleys and gorges ideal for canyoning. Don wetsuits, helmet and climbing harnesses to take part in the very latest sport, but beware, this is wild! Follow the course of a river along its gorge, and when you get to a waterfall you can abseil it, jump off or scramble down. Or use it like a natural toboggan and shoot over the edge - Beware of the adrenaline rush!
