Adventures In Nice

By:


With a huge amount of things to do in one destination, youll be debilitated just planning your holiday in Nice. Nestled on the revered French southern coast, Nice offers a wealth of things to do and activities to try. It is possible to enjoy a bustling holiday crammed with adventure sports and pure indulgence at the same time.

There's plenty to do so why not try kayaking, scuba fun, rock climbing and paragliding and because of its close proximity to neighbouring cities like Marseille and of course, The Alps is only an hours drive away!


Then comes the decadent part of a stay in Nice, sunning yourself on beautiful beaches or taking a trip to Cannes to mingle with the famous faces. Monaco is nearby too should you fancy a flutter on the high stakes or maybe coincide it with a trip to the world famous Monaco Grand Prix.


For many people Nice is all about adventure sports by day and the relaxing cafe culture in the evening. Of these adventure sports, kayaking and rock climbing are perhaps the most adventurous with the rugged scenery providing an ideal terrain.


There are infinite kayaking clubs in Nice and many programmed excursions. A particularly popular stretch for tourists is to tackle the Nice to Villefranche straight piercing the blue waters whilst bathed in glorious sun.

In the Alps there are sufficient opportunities to tackle the rapids with rocks jutting out of the volatile waters. Beginners and experienced campaigners slalom down this challenging terrain working together as a group and supporting each other. That isnt to say there isnt some friendly competition going on though!


An alternative popular adventure sport in The Alps is rock climbing. Like kayaking there are classes and group excursions available for this adrenaline inducing sport allowing you to experience the sheer rock faces of the magnificent Alps with like-minded people.


La Colle-Sur-Loup is another popular area for climbers. The ridged rock face is ideally designed to suit all grades of climbers with many first-time climbers starting here. After scaling this impressive rock formation, the Verdon awaits. Offering salubrious views of the River Verdon and over 800 routes for beginners to families right through to the most ambitious climber, this is seen as a pinnacle of rock-climbing feats in France.


When the heights have been scaled and the chopping rapids navigated the plethora of cafes that decorate Nice are ideal for a relaxing evening watching the sun set.
