Various sports in Luxembourg

Every time you travel, it is a chance to try out new things and experience new sensations. So, why not seize the opportunity of your trip to Luxembourg to have a crack at some new sports? There aren’t that many that Luxembourg can’t offer!

Reach for the clouds and get your adrenaline fix by taking flying lessons, doing a microlight or paraglider tour or – even better – doing a parachute jump. What better way to see the country than from above? A gentler way of gaining altitude is by hot-air balloon. As soon as the weather allows, the sky above Luxembourg is thick with balloons and the view from a basket will give you the chance to get to know the landscapes all over again, this time from a different angle.

If you prefer keeping your feet on the ground, why don’t you try one of Luxembourg’s numerous skateparks, including one of Europe’s largest and most modern, which was built recently under the capital’s Passerelle bridge. If you prefer something more typical of the Grand Duchy, ninepin bowling is a national sport, which Luxembourgers take very seriously. When you’re in a traditional café, look around you: some establishments like this have a bowling lane at the back – this is your chance to have a go! Lastly, lovers of winter sports will feel right at home if they visit the country’s skating rinks, or will have fun tobogganing and cross-country skiing during winter.
