A Raft of Opportunities Klarälven – the Clear River – springs from Lake Rogen in the heart of Sweden and flows southwards almost 300 miles through valleys and forests, taking in swathes of Norway before ending its journey at Lake Värna. You can join the journey for part of the way, building your very own timber raft to fight against the deceptive ebbs and flows. This is just one of many new adventure holidays across the world, organised by travel companies dedicated to offering something different for the beleaguered jetsetter. Turn to page 100 for more ideas, from salt-flat treks to a trip to outer space. Klarälven Timber Rafting, naturetravels.co.uk
