Thrill-seeking activities to try this summer

Maybe it all started as a casual idea tossed around over drinks with friends: "What if this summer, we did something truly different?" Not just the usual beaches and easy hikes. No, something that really stands out — something you’ll still be talking about when you're back.

A few searches later, the decision is made: it’s time for mountains, rivers, cliffs… the kind of places where adventure is written in capital letters! And to experience it all safely, with passionate pros by your side, you’ve come to the right place with Evolution 2.

The best thrill-seeking activities to experience this summer

Tandem paragliding take-off with an Evolution 2 instructor in Chamonix.

Paragliding: take your adventure to new heights

There are panoramic views… and then there’s flying.
Tandem paragliding is one of the most exhilarating ways to experience the mountains. After a light run down a slope, it’s lift-off — and total silence. A bird’s-eye view of the peaks and the resort, absolute weightlessness, and a taste of pure freedom in the air. It’s accessible even for first-timers (yes, even those afraid of heights!), with optional acrobatic moves if you’re ready to let go.

Group rafting down a river with Evolution 2 in Landry.

Rafting & Hydrospeed: ride the river at full speed

Alpine rivers are an unbeatable playground for anyone who loves water — in its most intense, sport-driven form. Rafting as a group is the perfect mix of teamwork and adrenaline: navigating rapids, hitting waves head-on, and riding the rush at full speed.

Prefer going solo? Try hydrospeed. With a float board in hand and fins on your feet, you take on the current head-first. It’s a full-body, fully immersive experience in whitewater — and a whole new way to connect with the power of the river.

Via ferrata & rock climbing: when the void becomes your playground

Ever felt the call of the void? On a rock face fitted with cables and rungs, via ferrata lets you climb safely, guided by a professional, through breathtaking natural landscapes. It’s a unique way to gain altitude and connect with the wild beauty around you. For the more experienced, outdoor rock climbing offers a taste of pure vertical adventure — a challenge that’s as much mental as it is physical.
