HIGH ROPES COURSE
What is a High Ropes Challenge Course attraction?
A High Ropes Challenge Course attraction is an exciting outdoor adventure activity in which participants test their physical and mental strength, stamina, agility, balance and flexibility. A Ropes Course attraction is built using arborist approved trees and constructed with environmentally sensitive methods that do not harm the trees.
Participants climb from tree to tree on ladders, scramble up nets, over suspended bridges and swinging logs, fly down zip lines or even slide from tree to tree on skateboards.
Courses vary in height and difficulty.
Who is a High Ropes Challenge Course for?
For safety reasons, you have to be older than 9 or higher than 1,40 m to jump on the High Ropes Course. But for the younger (or shorter!) adventurers check our Kids Tree Adventure and Kids Jungle Gym attractions.
