What is tree-top adventure?
Tree-top adventure in Verdon, a walk among the treetops
Tree-top adventure courses are a type of adventure trail in trees where participants use a system of ropes and pulleys to navigate through the tree canopy. This activity is generally practised for recreational purposes or for team building, and can be enjoyed by people of all ages.
Test your daring and agility from tree to tree, along the Verdon.
Who can do tree trekking?
Most people can do treetop adventure courses provided they are reasonably fit and do not suffer from vertigo. It is important to be aware of your own limitations. If you have any doubts, it is always best to err on the side of caution and not do it, or to speak to a member of staff.
Rope-based adventure courses are perfectly suited for children, who can climb between trees on courses specifically designed for their height and age.
The Verdon Gorge offers an exceptional natural setting thanks to the beauty of its landscapes. It’s an ideal place to recharge in the heart of nature! Enjoy a family walk in the Verdon Gorge with a forest adventure course. Your children will be delighted to discover this magnificent panorama and push themselves on the various activities on offer.
This activity can be shared with colleagues for a seminar or team-building event, or with friends to celebrate a stag or hen do (stag or hen party).
