ERINGHIKING
Hiking is the most popular outdoor activity of BeMyGuide. It
ACTIVI
requires no previous experience. Happens best if you have a local
guide who shares his knowledge on the hiking trails, the
surrounding scenery and the natural and cultural diversity of the
TIES
visited area.
ROCK CLIMBING
This is the most popular form of mountaineering and involves
climbing steep rock faces using ropes, harnesses, and other
equipment.
ALPINE CLIMBING
Alpine climbing is a type of mountaineering that involves climbing
steep, snowy peaks. This type of climbing requires specialized
equipment such as crampons, ice axes, and snowshoes. Alpine
climbers often have to navigate glaciers, icefalls, and snow-
covered ridges.
ICE CLIMBING
Ice climbing is a specialized form of climbing that involves
ascending frozen waterfalls and ice-covered rock faces.
EXPEDITION CLIMBING
Expedition climbing is a t ype of mountaineering that involves
climbing the world’s highest and most difficult peaks.
SCRAMBLING
Scrambling is a type of mountaineering that involves climbing
steep, rocky terrain without the use of ropes or other technical
equipment.
TREKKING
Trekking is a type of mountaineering that involves hiking through
mountainous terrain. It is considered to be a less strenuous form of
mountaineering and can be done by people of all ages and fitness
levels. Trekkers often carry camping equipment and spend several
days in the mountains.
SKI MOUNTAINEERING
Ski mountaineering is a type of mountaineering that involves
climbing mountains and then descending on skis.
SNOWSHOEING
Snowshoeing is a type of mountaineering that involves hiking
through snowy terrain using snowshoes.
CAVING
Caving is an underground adventure activity of exploring virgin
caverns and chambers. It is best practiced with a qualified caving
instructor, a helmet, a headlamp and the will to find another
AQUATIC
perspective to your well-known world.
ACTIVITIES
Scuba Diving
It involves using specialized breathing equipment and carrying

your own breathing gas. That, in turn, grants you more
independence and more time to explore the otherwise unattainable
world below the water surface.
Free Diving
Underwater diving has formed the foundation of other water
sports, such as underwater hockey, synchronized swimming, and
spearfishing, to name a few.
Cliff Diving
Cliff diving is certainly not for the faint-hearted. But if you’re into
extreme sports, you’ll be glad to know that you don’t need much to
get started. There is no specialized equipment, either. It’s just you,
a body of water, and a natural feature, like a cliff, to take the leap
from; that’s it.
Water Skiing
Water skiing is an on-the-surface water sport where the person

wears a pair of skis and is pulled by a high speed boat – or a cable
ski installation – over a body of water. Alternatively, you can use a
single ski – known as a water slalom – or skip the skis altogether
and go barefoot skiing.
Jet Skiing
While it’s technically called jet skiing, this water sport has very little
in common with water skiing, the sport I mentioned earlier. “Jet
Ski” is actually the name of the personal watercraft designed and
manufactured by the Japanese company Kawasaki. It simply grew
into a generic term over the years.
Swimming
Swimming is an activity where you use your entire body to move
through the water. Whether you choose to do it as an individual or
team sport, or even a purely recreational activity, swimming is the
second most popular form of exercise – and one with quite a long
history.
Kayaking
Kayaking is defined as – well, using a kayak to move across the

water. It is characterized by a small, narrow watercraft that sits low
in the water and the use of a double-bladed paddle. Kayaks have
been around way longer than most people realize. They were
invented by the Inuit people and used more than 4000 years ago.
Surfing
Using a board to ride waves in an upright position – that would be

the most basic explanation of what surfing is. Given that it’s one of
the most well-known surface water sports in the world, I’m pretty
sure you knew that already.
Stand-Up Paddle Boarding

Stand-up paddle boarding is a water sport born from surfing –
except here, you stand on a larger board and use a paddle to
propel yourself through the water.
Windsurfing
it’s a water sport that combines the elements of surfing and sailing
into one. So, you get a board with a sail attached to it – and use
the power of the wind to propel it forward.
