The Activities
Activities are organised my means of the "Adventure Card" points allocation system. Prebooked cards have 24 points, and can be used to purchase activities throughout your stay. For those with a real adrenalin addiction, extra points can be purchased locally. There are two organised programmes that we believe are the best options for families with kids from either 6 to 12 years, or 12 to 16 years, listed below: Mountain bikes and helmets are provided, all you need bring is energy and a sense of adventure.
