Parkour (or free running as it is sometimes known) is the art of getting from A to B as fast as possible using only the human body and your physical environment. You might be more familiar with parkour from action movies where actors appear to leap from roof to roof or scale the sides of buildings using fire escapes.
During the final week of August Morzine is offering a week of Parkour training utilizing its own natural environment of high mountains, fierce rivers and obstacles a plenty. Trainees will be seen scaling the sides of mountains, leaping from rock to rock across rivers and scrabbling barefoot through the muddy forests. They will also be scaling the odd chalet! The training is tough and the sport is apparently quite addictive. For more information and to watch a wonderful short film showing the sport of Parkour check out Parkour Generations - www.parkourgenerations.com/morzine3.php
