ADRENALINE WORKS LIKE a drug. In highpressure situations, it triggers the body’s fight-orflight response, causing airways to dilate and the heart rate to spike. In some sense, adrenaline is almost akin to a superpower, pushing both body and mind beyond their limits, allowing us to transcend the threshold of what was previously thought possible. For those of you hooked on getting the next big rush, we’ve curated the most thrilling experiences that money can buy. A word of caution, though: these are not for the faint of heart.
Sky High
Want to soar like Maverick? With Swiss aviation company MiGFlug, you can. Take your pick between an L-39 Albatros, a popular warbird still used in many of today’s air forces, or the Aermacchi S.211, an Italian turbofan-powered light attack aircraft. Though you won’t be flying the fighter jets yourself—best leave that to the professional pilots—rest assured you’ll still feel the full weight of G-force when taking off at breakneck speed.
Cliffhanger
Scaling a mountain is no mean feat, but living by the edge of a precipice is a different story altogether. Built by OFIS Architects on the tallest mountain in Slovenia, the Mount Skuta Alpine Shelter (pictured) is an outpost for weary climbers that overlooks the rocky peaks of the Slovenian Kamnik Alps. If you're in search of a more permanent abode, however, modular design expert Modscape can build you a Cliff House, which hangs on the side of a cliff the way a barnacle would a ship's hull. The residence's lower levels are accessible via a lift, featuring sleek, minimalistic furnishings and glorious views of the ocean.
