The New Craze on the Mountains - Speed Riding

Forget Zumba, this combination of flying and skiing is THE craze of 2012. Essentially, you throw yourself down a mountain. Sound crazy? Well it is pretty crazy, but also a breathtaking experience according to its fans. Although dangerous like any extreme sport, when the speed gets too much for you, you can pull a cord and your paragliding canopy will kick into action, phew!


Personally, we might stick to the old downhill skiing and boarding but for the more adventurous of you, why not give it a go. The sport which originated in France has spread across Europe is now even kicking off in Scotland.



Psst. Les Arc has a particularly good speed riding school if you want to learn and we still have catered chalets available for £479 per person departing next Saturday 4th February, Perfect!
