Active tourism is one of the best ways to discover new hobbies and passions... Indeed, our children usually engage in rather conventional activities: football, karate, basketball, gymnastics... But what about those slightly less well-known sports? Why not explore new sports and sensations as a family—whether for a day, a weekend, or all year round!
The Adventure Course is a seemingly calm yet highly entertaining activity, involving climbing trees or moving safely along routes that connect trees, progressing from one to another via workshops installed on taut cables: monkey bridges, zip lines, rope ladders, rope jumps... A combination of physical and playful activities in the heart of nature, with a rewarding sense of personal achievement.
The Adventure Course doesn’t require exceptional fitness or strength, making it perfectly suited for younger children. On the contrary, this activity will help your kids develop agility and self-confidence—after all, it takes some courage to cross a monkey bridge or launch themselves from a zip line!
Don’t worry, though—most adventure parks feature dedicated areas or courses specifically designed for children, allowing you to leave them under the supervision of qualified instructors while you tackle more challenging routes. Some centres even offer the option to organise your child’s birthday party: a unique way to celebrate this special day and amaze their little friends.
Here’s what you’ll need for this outdoor activity:
An instructor: Who will explain the safety rules and proper use of equipment to both you and your children.
Appropriate gear: It’s important to wear comfortable clothing and sturdy shoes—the rest will be provided: pulleys, carabiners, ropes, helmets, harnesses... And just like that, you’re ready to explore the fabulous world of the treetops!
