Extreme Sports

Walk the (Adrena)line! Best of Extreme Sports around our parks!

Push yourself further than you ever thought possible by taking up an extreme sport such as abseiling, surfing, paragliding, parkour and rockclimbing (although perhaps not all of them at once!) at one of the many locations near our parks.

Mainly of these activities offer fantastic chances to see parts of the coastline and landscape you can’t normally access by more pedestrian means.

Snowtrax Alpine Activity Centre – Dry slopes in Dorset

Transport yourself to the mountains for the day - whether it’s skiing or snowboarding you’re into, or simply soaking up the alpine atmosphere, you’ll find it here in this indoor skiing experience. Pros can set off down the slopes or if you’re looking to improve your skills or start from scratch, there are lessons for every level! Kids can have extra run sliding downhill on ski-bobs or ringos, play in the adventure park or jump on the trampolines and alpine fort to burn off extra energy.
