Let Off Steam with Axe Throwing
In Bex, Vevey, or Crissier, axe throwing has made its mark as one of the most unique activities in the region. Contrary to stereotypes, it doesn’t require great strength, making it accessible and fun for everyone. It’s a perfect way to let off steam and have a great time with friends or family (from age 10). Indoors or outdoors, this activity guarantees laughs and adrenaline.
