If you are more adventurous, try rafting in the Pyrenees. Several companies offer rafting in the foothills near Lourdes (for the journey allow 2-3 hours). Normally several boats make the descent together and a lot of water flies around. Early afternoon departures are the best and normally take 2-3 hours.
Challenging slopes, hills and narrow
tracks through trees are mixed with open-throttle runs across the fields
back to base. Book in advance.
The track is 1.2km long and a range of carts (by power and size) are available. More information from: www.fabukart.com |

Course 5 is long and testing. Course 6 is the most fun, with six separate wire rope runs (see photo on left), the last one of which is 100m long over a small valley. Very well organised with good training and equipment. Safety helmets and Double safety harnesses for clipping to safety ropes. Le Vert en L’Air web site: www.levertenlair.com |
