Forest Acrobatic Parks in Rhône-Alpes

Among the numerous forest acrobatic parks scattered almost everywhere since the 90s', there are about a hundred throughout the Rhône-Alpes region, scattered within resorts, mountains, towns and the countryside.Explore via monkey bridges, Texan clamps, and lots of other suspended games for a unique experience!

Holding on, but well secured with ropes, snap hooks and protecting gloves, get your thrills whilst letting yourself slip at full speed on a Tyrolean rope, cross foot bridges, Amazonian bridges, climb on papoose scales and become familiar with the summit of the tall trees.

In the opinion of one enthusiastic devotee, "It is hardly more expensive than going to the cinema, but you are an actor not a spectator and you get muscles!" While teenagers, older children and young sports fans are the main clients at these places, it is also a family activity which you can enjoy from 8 years old and even on some sites from 5 years old. The activity is carefully supervised by experienced monitors who equip the participants from head to toe with tethers, harnesses, snap hooks and helmets.

Now it only remains for you to take off on the assault of the regional adventure courses, in such varied places such as: the Aravis, Tarentaise, Oisans, Bauges, Vercors, Chartreuse, Pilat, Pays de Gex, Mont Blanc range, Pays du Léman, Green Beaujolais, Ardèche, the Drôme Provençale and even downtown Lyon at the Sarra course, easily accessible via the TCL transport network.
