What is the minimum age?
The park offers tree-climbing courses suitable for children as young as 2 years old!
Are there accompanying requirements?
Children between 2 and 3 years old
They must be supervised by an adult at all times. This course is designed so that the adult can accompany the child from the ground. The accompanying adult doesn’t pay an admission fee. If two adults accompany the child you can each take turns looking after the child and participating in the adult activity. You will only pay for one adult entry in this case. However the security briefing will be mandatory for both adults.
Children between 4 and 6 years old
We require at least a ground supervision (free of charge). If your child climbs the “Koala” or “Iguane” courses, you have to climb with them. In this case you will only pay a Kid 1 accompanying adult price (13€). For groups of 2 adults or more, only one adult gets the Kid 1 accompanying adult price. The other adults pay full adult price (23€) if they want to climb on other courses.
Children between 7 and 9 years old
They can climb independently, but an adult has to watch them from the ground. As for the Kid 1, an adult can accompany them by paying a reduced Kid 2 accompagnying adult price (16€). You can also pay full adult price (23€) to have access to all the courses of the park.
Teenagers between 10 and 13 years old
They can climb independently, but an adult has to be present in the park.
Teenagers between 14 and 17 years old
The adult doesn’t have to stay in the park but in that case, they must sign a parental discharge at the front desk.
How restrictive are the age categories?
If the child or teenager is between two age categories or wants to follow the upper age category, they may be able to move into it under certain conditions:
- Be rather sporty/have already done the activity
- Have a minimum height
- Being accompanied
- Visible by one of our operators on a course to be able to make the courses intended for the upper category.
- Have the agreement of the person in charge.
In that case, you will have to go back to reception to pay an additional fee
Is an initiation mandatory if I am used to doing it?
The safety briefing at the beginning of the activity is MANDATORY even if you have already done acrobatic courses in the trees in another park or at Forêt Adrénaline in previous years.
If you have already been to Forêt Adrénaline in the current year, we will check your knowledge of the park’s instructions (legal obligation). You can tell us at the reception and at the equipment platform and we will then allow you access to the courses by only having you go on our test course before our general briefing.
Am I really safe in your adventure park? What safety system do you have in place?
You are required to watch a video briefing and complete an introductory session on our test course, supervised by a qualified operator.
All courses are equipped with a continuous lifeline system.
This ensures you remain secured from the start of the course to the end, allowing you to enjoy the activity in complete safety.
Unlike a double-carabiner system, you cannot unhook yourself without the assistance of an operator.
A forestry expert and a playground safety inspector inspect the site annually, and we are regularly audited by the DDCS.
Finally, Forêt Adrénaline employs and trains its own course builders (we build tree-top adventure courses and net courses in France and abroad, in addition to maintaining existing parks). How do the introductory session, briefing, and initial instructions take place?
Safety always begins on the ground. Before heading up into the trees, everyone—beginners and experienced participants alike—must go through our introductory area.
You’ll first watch an explanatory video briefing detailing the basic safety guidelines and how the equipment works.
Next, each participant must complete a low-height test course under the watchful and supportive eye of our professional operators to demonstrate their skills.
I have a disability, can I climb trees?
Yes, we welcome people with disabilities: mental, visual, hearing and motor. Climbing in the trees can be done under certain conditions:
- The person must be able to carry out the activity independently because the operators are present for all the clients.
- For more information, do not hesitate to call us.
- In case of impossibility to do the activity, we will refund your registration at the end of the test courses.
Do I need any special equipment?
We provide safety equipment (harnesses). You don’t need a helmet and gloves for the activity. However, you can bring your own equipment (helmet and gloves) if you wish. Otherwise we sell gloves at the rfront desk at the price of €3 per pair.
We advise you to wear a sporty and casual outfit. Footwear that does not hold the ankle, skirts, dresses, open-toes shoes and heels are prohibited. Hair must be tied. Piercings as well as T-shirts or tank tops revealing the belly are STRONGLY NOT RECOMMENDED.
