Stay at a Marriott brand in Barcelona (suggested: Renaissance or AC Hotel by Marriott central location) to be near beach and transport. Great base that offers teen‑friendly pool zones and flexible meal options including vegetarian menus.
Relax and warm up with parasailing, paddleboarding or jet‑ski hire on the city beach — safe, supervised family options are widely available and ideal for teens who want water adrenaline without travel.
Return for a hotel pool session — many Marriott properties run family/teen pool events or rooftop music evenings; ask the concierge to arrange a teen DJ/silent disco option.
Book a private early-evening boat party with a DJ on shore‑appropriate schedule (many companies run family / under‑18 friendly evening cruises with music and supervised activities). Nightclub entry is usually 18+, so choose teen‑specific experiences.
Drive or organised transfer ~1h45m–2h to the world‑famous skydiving centre in Empuriabrava (Girona) for tandem skydives over the Costa Brava. Many centres accept 16–17 year olds with parental consent; confirm age rules on booking.
Full‑throttle adrenaline: tandem skydive with an experienced instructor — stunning coastline views and a once‑in‑a‑lifetime rush. Typical operation hours are roughly 09:00–18:00 but check weather and season.
Lunch at a nearby café with vegetarian dishes (many beachside restaurants offer salads, pastas and veggie tapas). Operators often recommend simple carbs after a big morning.
If more low‑altitude fun is wanted, choose parasailing or a rib‑boat speed tour along the Costa Brava — great for families and repeat thrills without age constraints.
Evening return to Barcelona; relax at hotel and recover — hotels can prepare vegetarian comfort food and arrange teen movie‑night or games in the common area.
Transport ~1h15m to PortAventura (one of Europe's biggest theme parks) for massive rollercoasters for thrill‑seeking teens — full day of rides, shows and the Caribe Aquatic Park if open. Check park hours; summer typically 10:00–23:00.
Back in Barcelona, choose a relaxed dinner at a Marriott restaurant that offers good vegetarian mains, or visit local vegetarian tapas bars to sample Catalan vegetarian cuisine.
Organise a hotel‑hosted teen DJ night or a supervised evening at a family‑friendly venue; many Marriott properties will help arrange a safe, supervised evening for under‑18s.
Short flight Barcelona → Nice (≈1h15m). Take morning flight to maximise daylight for beach and local adventures. Book flights with enough luggage allowance for adventure gear (trainers, swimwear).
Stay on the Promenade des Anglais at Le Méridien (Marriott brand) for great beach access and family rooms; hotel restaurants can accommodate vegetarian diets.
Afternoon dedicated to parasailing, jet‑skiing or stand‑up paddle around the bay; operators typically run 09:00–18:00 in summer. Perfect easy adrenaline for teens and family.
Full‑day canyoning adventure (gorges near Lantosque / Gorges du Loup / Mercantour region) with abseils, natural slides and jumps — many operators accept 16–17 year olds with parental consent; seasonal: most operators run May–Sept, typically 08:00–17:00.
If available that day, try a canyon swing or via ferrata for a huge adrenaline hit — availability varies by operator and season, and some swings require minimum age/weight limits.
Morning flight Nice → Geneva (≈1h20) or scenic train (longer). Stay at a Marriott property in Geneva (suggested: Renaissance Geneva Hotel or Moxy Geneva) as a convenient base for alpine day trips.
If weather or season limits alpine options, book an indoor climbing centre or an escape room in Geneva — excellent for teen groups and energetic family fun.
Geneva has many high‑quality vegetarian and vegan restaurants; alternatively the Renaissance/Moxy restaurants will prepare vegetarian mains to suit active teens.
Ask concierge to arrange a supervised teen activity (night cinema, pizza party or rooftop DJ) — safe option for under‑18s who want to socialise in the evening.
Early train or private transfer to Interlaken/Grindelwald (~3h from Geneva) for a full alpine adventure day; plan early departure to fit multiple activities.
Book a canyoning trip with an Interlaken operator — steep drops, natural slides and rope work. Many operators accept 16–17 year olds with parental consent; typical operation 09:00–17:00 in summer.
Tandem paragliding from a nearby launch gives 360° alpine panoramas with an exhilarating descent — minimum age often 14–16 with consent, and flights run in most weather windows 09:00–17:00.
Interlaken region offers giant swings, ziplines and other sky‑activities via local operators; availability varies, and some activities have strict age/weight limits — confirm in advance.
Late breakfast at the hotel with vegetarian options and a final splash in the pool — easy morning to unwind muscles after several high‑adrenaline days.
Light vegetarian lunch at the hotel or lakeside café; final packing and check‑out. Confirm any onward transport to airport or train with your Marriott concierge.
