Sensations in Corsica: a paradise for extreme sports

Go beyond your limits, try new experiences, take up new challenges... Your stay in Corsica will give you unforgettable moments in an exceptional setting! In the heart of the Corsican mountains, come and try out some real technical and physical prowess, with a wide choice of activities, each more fun than the last, to discover below.

Extreme sports require good physical condition, lots of practice, strict precautions and, of course, are not recommended for children.

With their rich values of freedom, challenge, creativity and surpassing oneself, extreme sports are a good way to assess and push back one's limits. It's also a good opportunity to get to know yourself and learn to stand out from the crowd.

Board sports for the whole family

Corsican canyoning : Take to the canyons not far from the Col de Bavella. An opportunity to discover nature, have fun as a family and share thrills with friends. Extreme canyoning with an experienced guide or family canyoning with the kids, treat yourself during your stay in Corsica! Contact a professional on site, who will equip you with a neoprene suit, helmet and harness for abseiling. Prices depend on your wishes and the tour you're looking for.

Children can experience the joys of white-water rafting on our many rivers (introduction to rafting, jumps, swimming, floating...): a fun family atmosphere guaranteed!

Kayak touring and rafting: Rendezvous near Corte and Bastia, in the Gorges du Tavignano on the Golo, for unforgettable sensations and discover Corsica by raft! Discover magnificent landscapes and sensational courses with perfect water levels in early spring.

Kitesurfing: Discover the joys of kitesurfing on Corsica's most beautiful spots. The island of beauty abounds in magnificent spots where everyone can find their own little corner of paradise to indulge in their favorite sport! The oldest kiteboarding school is located near Bonifacio in the Bay of Figari. You can learn or perfect your kiteboarding skills in complete safety on one of Corsica's dream beaches.

Unforgettable jumping sports

Bungee jumping: Experience a pure moment of adrenalin, a unique sensation for your first bungee jump. Meet up opposite the Ospedale lake, and jump... into the void! In the heart of a magical natural environment 30 minutes from Porto-Vecchio, qualified professionals offer you top-quality supervision and equipment to help you push back your limits.

Skydiving: Dreaming of a tandem skydive? Sign up at the Du Valinco skydiving school in Propriano or at Corse Parachutisme Tandem in Ghisonaccia. This is your chance to discover the Isle of Beauty from above, for a free-fall baptism between sea and mountains.

Climbing sports

The Massif de Bavella awaits you for days of climbing in the Corsican mountains! There are many other routes to discover in Corsica, but beware: you'll need to have good experience and a good knowledge of the terrain and environment. Climbing Monte Gozzi (5 mins from Ajaccio) is a good way to warm up! Then it's on to the Restonica valley, an exceptional site that's a must-see!

It's worth noting that a taste for risk, nature and adventure is part and parcel of the very essence of extreme sports! A Corsican holiday that's also ideal for families, giving you the chance to recharge your batteries together and make the most of every moment.
