Sporting Activities in Suiss
Normande
Suisse Normande .... a little bit of paradise shaped by time and the movement of the earth, with its deep valleys, steep slopes, gorges and rivers which have given it its name. This area is characterised by its quaint villages, stunning views and many places of interest, as well as a range of sporting activities, such as hiking, horse riding, mountain biking, kayaking, rock climbing, hang-gliding, golf, angling, leisure pools etc etc.
Mountain Biking (VTT)
Our cottage is the ideal base for mountain bike enthusiasts – bring your bike on
holidmountain ay or hire one locally. Mountain bike trails in abundance, ride for miles in beautiful countryside, through forests, alongside rivers, up and down mountains (well not quite but you get the idea!). There is plenty of secure space at the cottage for your bikes when not in use. We can supply a pack of 30 local routes, most of which start within 10 miles from here. The routes range from very easy to extremely difficult – £4 plus postage if you would like them in
advance (available after deposit received).
Kayaking
Try kayaking on the river Orne. Choose your route (from 2 hours to all day), you will be taken upstream from the kayak centre, given some basic instruction and then pushed into the river (with your kayak!). There will be a few barrages to navigate, you can stop for a picnic or a beer en route and will eventually end up where you started (probably considerably wetter too!) – Fantastic fun. Note - you must be able to swim.
May, June and September are ideal weatherwise for sporting activities and you will get cheaper rates on the ferries and our cottage. We can also arrange discounted travel rates for you. Travelling to France is easy, take the ferry from Portsmouth to Ouistreham and the cottage is 45 minutes drive. |
