TFT: Alpine Adventure - Switzerland, France and Italy

This trip had everything!! I got to go hiking up to a waterfall, have a snowball fight on a glacier, go canyoning and mountain biking, do ropes courses and zip lines, and climb up mountains while also getting to walk around cute places and take pictures, swim in lakes and tan, go shopping, walk around a castle, go to a water park, have a karaoke night, and of course try all the cool European food! Everyone on this trip was so much fun and I had the time of my life!!

I went on TFT's Alpine Adventure program in the summer during Covid times, and despite the world wide pandemic I had the best summer of my life! This was my first trip with TFT and I wasn't sure which program to go on, so I decided to do a multi country trip. After an overnight flight to Paris I began my journey in Annecy, France. This trip is very adventure and activity based which is a great way to experience new countries. We didn't just see famous sites and move on. We actually stopped and enjoyed the places were staying. I got to talk to locals, have local tour guides who took us around the country, and go to amazing restaurants that are off the beaten path of most tourists! I think my favorite part of this trip was paragliding over Lake Annecy. Which is surprising to me because I am terrified of heights, truly terrified. My trip leaders could tell how nervous I was so they put me in a middle group and had one of them go in the group with me! If it wasn't for their support and encouragement I don't know if I would ever have been able to do it. But I did! And while it was still scary I don't regret it because it was one of the coolest experiences of my life! I highly recommend this trip to people who don't just want to stop in the major cities and explore tourist attractions. But who want to go off the beaten path and explore the beautiful nature and adventure that these countries hold!

I went on this trip in the summer and it was absolutely thrilling!! I loved all the little adventures we went on and activities we got to do. One of my favorite parts was snowboarding in the Swiss Alps, which was like nothing I've ever experienced before. Another experience that sent my adrenaline soaring was canyoning, which was one of the most amazing things I've ever done!! My group was very small on this trip, which enabled us all to get really close, including the counselors. By the end of the trip we were all super comfortable together, which made the experience even better. The alps were breathtaking and were the perfect setting for this exhilarating trip!! I recommend this trip to anyone looking for adventure filled, unforgettable memories!!
