The Adventure Travel Development Index (ATDI) defines adventure travel as an interaction with nature, culture, and a physical activity, with at least two or preferably all three present on a trip. If your idea of a fun vacation includes adrenaline-pumping getaways, then below are some of the places you should consider visiting on your next holiday:
France
If you're a seasoned mountain biker, you will enjoy visiting Avoriaz in France. Travel the French Alps on your bike through man-made trails and alpine tracks over 650km long. I suggest going there in June to make it in time for the Pass'Portes du Soleil mountain bike festival and join more than 4,000 other bikers in a 75km downhill race. In September, the lifts are closed to make way for skiers who want to race down the mountainside.

Slovenia
There is much to do in Slovenia, which was formerly part of Yugoslavia. You have a choice of hiking, biking, or water sports like river rafting. Discover the beauty of 8,000 caves in Slovenia by hiring a guide and go by foot or bike. White river rafting takes you down from Soca River to Bled. Cultural tourists will enjoy the ancient architecture and the rich history of Slovenia.

China
Take an adventure of taste and culture by experiencing authentic Chinese cuisine. Visit Shanghai or Beijing for this culinary adventure. You can also visit Yangshuo, a former fishing village that was dubbed the adventure capital of China, if you’re into rock climbing. The best time to visit is between September and December so you can take part in the climbing festival in November.
