f you are seeking a natural adrenaline rush, look no further than this landscape, with its ready-made playground of mountains, oceans and fast-fl owing rivers.
In the Lochaber region the choice of activities is exceptional, with white-water rafting, paragliding, canyoning and paint-balling on offer, and at Fort William, a world class downhill mountain biking trail. Fort William is also close to two ski resorts, Glencoe and the Ne- vis range, which depending on the weather, can offer skiing well into April, and both remain open for other activities once the melt comes, whether you take the chairlift to the top just for the view, or prefer to pound back down the hill on foot or bike. For water sports enthusiasts, every day offers a new opportunity. The swell rolling off the Atlantic creates some of the fi nest surfi ng in the UK, and wind surfers are advised to head for the Isle of Tiree. If you want to try canoeing or kayaking, experienced guides are on hand around the region to show you the ropes. If your preferred water experience take place beneath the waves, you are in for a treat, with clear waters, thriving marine life, and shipwrecks just waiting to be explored. There are diving schools on the Sound of Mull, Oban and Fort William.
